Hey Jordan,
I'd seen the post you mentioned and notes that you scanned in when searching out something else in the past. Seems they were really specific to the Canadian 4th Infantry Brigade in the 2nd Division which your RHLI and Essex Scottish were in.
Toronto Scottish (MG) was the support battalion for the 2nd Division so some of my initial questions could equally be applied to them. If their D-Coy (4.2" mortars) had T-16s, would A-C Coys (Vickers) have also had T-16s?
During the push into Caen, the two Support Battalions (2nd Division and 3rd Division) worked more as a tag-team on fire missions for the infantry units. When one came off the line, the other filled in the gap. Seems they did that on and off at least until the assault crossing that took place in October which I mentioned in the first post. Haven't researched if the 2nd Division went that way or not.
