From the Wikipedia article

The Glider Pilot Regiment was a British airborne forces unit of the Second World War, which was responsible for crewing the British Army's military gliders and saw action in the European theatre in support of Allied airborne operations. Established during the war in 1942, the regiment was disbanded in 1957. During its short existence, the unit gained the dual distinction of being both the shortest-lived regiment in British Army history and the unit that accrued the highest casualty rate per head.
