Here is a link to a history of the 14th Field Regt.

http://www.ncf.ca/~di137/14thregt.html

You should note the following:

“On July 30th our Regt. was relieved by 23rd Field Regt. 4th Div and we went out of action for the first time since June 6th for rest and refit. Harbour was at 996765 COLOMBY-SUR-THAON. The S.P.'s were turned in; recreation, baths, swims, leave trucks to BAYEUX for all of us; we enjoyed our first Canadian Army show in a cave at FONTAINE-HENRY.
On August 7th the Regt. moved to Reorganization Area at RYES near BAYEUX in a tented camp where towed 25pdrs. were reissued to us. GOC Keller was wounded on August 8th by Allied A/C at 3Div Tac Hdq.”

I hope that this helps.
