270th Field Artillery Battalion info wanted.

Would anyone happen to know any history of the 270 FA BN of the 3rd Army in WW2? My grandfather served in Battery C of this unit. Haven't been able to find much on the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My father Gilberto Pineda, was also in the 270th field artillery, battery C. I have a couple of pictures if you would like, I can share with you.
