The objective was the east - west rail line which runs through Caen. A troop of tanks from the First Hussars (a Canadian Armoured unit) made it to the rail line, but on popping out of their hatches, realized that there was no one else with them. They had to turn about and go back to "friendlier" areas. Their unique situation resulted in a great little war story, and bragging rights for the First Hussars (and all Canadian soldiers).
