4 Canadian Armoured Troops Workshop RCEME
In the 4 Canadian Armoured Troops Workshop short history, published at the end of hostilities, the following is noted:
(August 4,1944.)
Captains G. F. Grainger and A. B. Otto with 60 men. left on a composite AWD to Bayeux to modify the armoured vehicles that later aided in the break-through at the Falaise Gap.
From the kangaroo thread that has a related discussion, it appears that the 105mm howitizer barrels were written off? (Speculation. The barrel wear would make these guns less than desireable, and it really was the carriages that were the asset. In this respect disposing of the barrels was not a significant waste of weapons.)
