Unknown user says
Various shots of the BRITISH AIRBORNE - Royal Artillery Gunners with their 75mm Pack Howitzers in Italy in either 1943 or 1944 - more research needed to correctly identify unit.

As Packhow75 says this is definitely the Royal Artillery. It is 1st Airlanding Light Regiment. They spent the winter of 1943/44 fighting in the Abruzzo mountains. The clip shows a sign identifying Gessopalena, which is in the Abruzzo.
