Default HAA Totalize

Which 3.7 AA Regiments would be in action at the start of Totalize and used as indirect fire support for the advance. Rather than wading through the War Diaries I am hoping someone will point me in the right direction. Location would be east of the Orne around Fleury-Ifs.

Reid in No Holding Back isn't explicit in the text, but his orbat appendix lists 107 AA Bde with 108 and 109 HAA Regts and mentions in both places that they were still in the process of moving to the continent.

Only other possibility appears to be 74 AA Bde, but they were tasked with airfield defence for 84 Grp.

It appears I was looking for 2nd Canadian HAA Rgt.

Very interesting material in the War Diaries particularly for those researching the use of HAA in the field role. Thanks.
