Bloody Sunday soldier ‘heard no shots before Bogside invasion’
A former British soldier has told the Saville Inquiry in London that he did not hear any gunfire before the British army invaded the IRA-controlled Bogside area of Derry on Bloody Sunday more than 31 years ago.
The former platoon commander, identified only as Soldier 41, said the first shots he heard on January 30, 1972, rang out as his colleagues ran into the Bogside area.
