Not to diminish John's main point with respect to the vague nature of the accusations against the Canadians, but if I am not mistaken, D Coy of the Regina Rifles did briefly hold the area around La Villeneuve (S. of Rots) on 7 June, withdrawing closer to Bretteveille on the 8th. While I've always struggled to get a good sense of the distance from that location (on the Caen-Bayeux highway) to the original railway line, I think it's quite possible that Canadians were in the area during that time. Hopefully that doesn't bolster Meyer's self-serving claim too much.
