This is a good site for paras'

http://www.paradata.org.uk/az_index

If you type 12th Battalion into search there is a page of info, one of which is Normandy positions.

Hope it helps.

One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
