Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te 5th (Scottish) Parachute Battalion, hei waahanga o te 2nd Parachute Brigade, kaore i kite i tetahi pakanga tae noa ki te 1943, i tukuna ai ki te Mediterranean. Kua mutu te pakanga i Awherika ki te Raki, ā, i whakamaherehia te tuku i te ope taua ki roto i a Sicily i te wā o te
whakaekenga. Heoi, ko te korenga o nga waka rererangi kawe me te tere o te Allied i mua, i kore ai e hiahiatia te tohatoha.
