Private R was a soldier in the Mortar Platoon of Support Company, 1 Battalion, the Parachute Regiment on Bloody Sunday.[1]

The Saville Report concludes in relation to Private R:

In our view Private R of Mortar Platoon was probably the soldier who aimed at and shot Jackie Duddy. This soldier had disembarked from Sergeant O’s APC in Rossville Street, but then ran after this vehicle as it continued into the entrance to the car park of the Rossville Flats, before he fired at Jackie Duddy.[2]
