On 30 January 1972 British soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment shot 26 unarmed civilians during a march in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland. The march had been organised to protest against the introduction of internment without trial. The massacre became known as 'Bloody Sunday'. 1/2
