Hi Larry, how are you?
I don't think yer man Bulldog is ex Parachute Regt. or he would have said so. Maybe some other airborne unit (medic, engineer, arty ) or just a fantasist.
I know that you don't invent facts but to my shame I do not remember the case of Carol. I do know that whatever else the Para Reg are, they are professional soldiers and have a professional soldier's contempt for child killers. If you say she was killed by them I believe you, but how can you be so sure of why it happened. No soldier would kill a child as a reprisal.
Sorry to possibly start things up again, but I have known many Paras and counted many as friend, and can not let such a slur go unchallenged.
