hi
My father served with the 8th Battalion 6th Airborne Div, 14436779 D.E.W Harris he landed in Normandy at Troarn, to blow the bridges over the Dives river, he was later sent to re enforce the 9th Battalion as they had took a battering at Merville, so your man may have served with this Battalion ? and I have not heard of a S company, unless it stands for support

Hello
             Sorry for such a long delay in answering. It seems from my friends documents we got it wrong. We have applied for his army records but not yet got them but what we do know it was the 13 battalion.

          Many thanks for you help

Grant
