David Cameron later apologised for the actions of the Parachute Regiment - who fired at unarmed marchers, on a peaceful parade.
Now, nearly 50 years later, one ex-soldier will be brought to justice.
Many feel that - after such a detailed examination of the events - this outcome is unsatisfactory.
In that only one man is found accountable, for some of the 14 deaths.
