His deputy was Colonel [[Tony Yarnold]]. Other members of the Army Public Relations Branch included [[Colin Wallace]], and the PR officer for [[8th Infantry Brigade]], known to the [[Bloody Sunday Inquiry]] as [[INQ 2146]].<ref>[http://report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume09/chapter178/ Report of the The Bloody Sunday Inquiry - Volume IX - Chapter 178], Bloody Sunday, 15 June 2010.</ref>

Staughton was not on duty on [[Bloody Sunday]] because he was in poor health and worked office hours only. <ref>[http://report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume09/chapter178/ Report of the The Bloody Sunday Inquiry - Volume IX - Chapter 178], Bloody Sunday, 15 June 2010.</ref>

Colonel [[Maurice Tugwell|Tugwell]] and the [[Information Policy Unit]], rather than the Army PR Branch, presented the Army’s account of Bloody Sunday after the event. According to [[Hugh Mooney]], this was not a deliberate ploy. Staughton, was not on duty and was not present. Colonel Tugwell, on the other hand, was present on the ground during the event.<ref>[http://report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume09/chapter178/ Report of the The Bloody Sunday Inquiry - Volume IX - Chapter 178], Bloody Sunday, 15 June 2010.</ref>
