There is an excellent book about the Canadian Artillery during the camapign for Normandy.
Title
"The Guns of Normandy: A soldiers eye view. France 1944" by George Blackburn.

I could not put it down.

Blackburn wrote three books, chronologically this one was the second. The First, covering the long training period in England was "Where the hell are the Guns". The last one was "The Guns of Victory" covering the balance of the campaign after Normandy to V-E Day. The series is an excellent description of the use of artillery by commonwealth forces, especially Canadian, in WW II. This is the way we trained up until very recently.
