Summary
Richard Moore was ten years old when he was shot by a British soldier, on his journey past an army base on his way home from school. Here Richard Moore lends us his eyes as he shares his story, from… his early years growing up on the Catholic working-class Creggan Estate in Derry, the second youngest of a family of twelve children. In it he describes the moment of grace that accompanied the realisation that he would never again see, where he accepted his fate instantly and without bitterness, and tells of wonderful childhood escapades, including 'endless cycles down Malin Gardens' guided by the voices of his friends. 2009.
