Hi - and welcome.

Attached are his details from the Army Roll of Honour which don't show a different unit.

I have copies of 2nd SWB's War Diary up to 31st August 1944 (!) but I also know a veteran of this battalion (he was the Intel Officer) and I have his account, which I will fish out over the next few days and see what it says.

Many of the men buried at Rouen died of wounds in the hospital there, or were killed after the Seine Crossing in the operations from the Seine up to the Somme. There was also intense fighting along the channel ports from le Havre up to Dunkirk, so he may also have been involved in that.
