Default parachute regiment embroidery

hi hope this is ok to post as it is the parachute regiment badge embroided on part of a sling while my grandfather was wounded during ww2 thought the airbourne collectors would like to see it not for sale as priceless to me im assuming it was done in 1943 as the army aircorp was the badge before that am i right ? as he didnt go to Arnhem so i think north africa or italy also it is on part of a triangular bandage for use as a sling

What a lovely piece of work - unique and rightly cherished by you as it custodian - to pass on to future generations of your family as a priceless heirloom.
