Welcome to the forum

The first thing you should do is apply for his service records:-
Ministry of Defence | About Defence | What we do | Personnel | Service Records | Making a Request for Information held on the Personnel Records of Deceased Service Personnel and Home Guard records

They cost 30 pounds and make sure you ask for the FULL records. There is a wait of about 12 months

Other members should come along and maybe help you more

There's an overview of 4 RHA's movements here.

For a more detailed history, start here and have a dig through the site. A month or so after D-Day, 4 RHA joined 4th Armoured Brigade, so their story is worth following.
