You do come up with some great questions don't you? Hard to be specific in an answer too.
By RCA I assume you mean Royal Canadian Artillery? If so then he could have served anywhere from the desert of North Africa , to Italy, or to Germany via Normandy & Holland. As to what he did, it would depend on which unit and what equipment, but basically he would have been involved in maintaining, laying, loading and firing the guns or perhaps in communications / radio.
Bob, Chrissie's cousin (once removed) was with the 4th Canadian Armoured Division ( If memory serves me correct it was 15 Field Regiment, with 25pdrs). He landed on D+3 and fought through France, Belgium and Holland; including the infamous battles around the Scheldt Estuary.
