Description:... The maroon beret of Britain's airborne forces has a special significance to every man who has ever worn it, from the wartime units of 1st and 6th Airborne Divisions to the parachute soldiers of today. Supported by a host of specialist units from within the British Army, the modern airborne soldiers have become a household name and are better known as the Paras.
