Richard

Richard Moore

When Richard was ten years old, a British Soldier shot him with a rubber bullet. The bullet struck the bridge of his nose, leading to the loss of his right eye and blindness in his left.  He would never see again. He discovered the name of the soldier 33 years later and wrote a letter to arrange a meeting. “The first day that I found out his name, everything changed.  It wasn’t a soldier then.  It was Charles. …It was a human being in a sense.  And that sort of distance… was brought a bit closer by saying ‘Charles.’”
