This is absolutely the right place, and that's a great find.
If your interested, you can probably get the war diaries on line for that unit, which are really interesting reads.
I remember reading about them on D-Day, due to piss poor weather and spotting they were scattered to hell and back, and they still managed to find a way to achieve all their objectives.
BTW, I can't imagine jumping out of a plane with over 70 pounds of supplies and a parachute.
Insane.
