Lee,
Bear with me am typing this from book..

Operation Goodwood:
History IG WWII, pg 373

To 2Bn -
"We are to leave our present harbour area - ST. Martin des Entrees - this evening, drive thirty miles east, halt about day-break to fill up with petrol, have breakfast and rest, cross bridges over the Orne about half-past ten and follow the 11th Armd Div to Cagny, where they lead straight on and we turn left. Within the GA Brigade, the 2nd Grenadiers will lead to Cagny, with the 1st Coldstream on the right and ourselves on the left behind them; from Cagny the 1st Coldstream will lead to Vimont with ourselves in support. Within the Bn, the order of march is No 3 Sqn, No 2 Sqn, HQ Sqn and No 1 Sqn. The 3 Bn will be just behind us at the beginning and will come up to join us when we have taken Vimont."
