Default OSS para wings

Fantastic display of wings - thanks to everyone who has contributed. As I understand it, with regard to British troops, it was only SOE and the SAS who allowed their troops to wear their wings on their left chest after an operational drop. This did not apply to regular troops from the Airborne Divisions, who always wore their wings on the right sleeve. (The only exception to that rule were the airborne troops based in India, who wore their wings on their right breast for a period.)
