Graffiti in support of Soldier F has been removed after being sprayed on Free Derry Corner overnight.
The soldier has been accused of murdering two people – James Wray and William McKinney – in the city on Bloody Sunday in January 1972.
He was expected to appear in court this month.
But in letters to relatives of Bloody Sunday victims, the PPS say he will now appear in Derry Magistrates’ Court in September for a committal hearing.
The stencilled texts appeared on one of the most famous landmarks in the city and appears with a Parachute Regiment flag above it, according to Derry Now.
Thirteen people were killed on Bloody Sunday, January 30, 1972 and a 14th victim died of related injuries months later. Soldier F is accused of murdering William McKinney and James Wray.
He has also been accused of the attempted murder of four other civil rights protesters in Derry, Patrick O’Donnell, Michael Quinn, Joseph Friel and Joseph Mahon.
Soldier F is the only member of the armed forces to face prosecution for his actions that day following an announcement in March by the PPS.
Since the announcement that Soldier F would be prosecuted banners in support have appeared in loyalist areas across the North of Ireland.
