The locomotive was damaged by the American bombardment north west of Caumont in the battle for Caen on or about 9th July 1944.

Neither did I. I looked it up. I copied the image to a Google Image search and got several hits in different languages. An Italian site gave the info - translated by Babelfish - that I copied to here. Now that you know how it's done you are probably much less impressed!
Cheers
