I've slept several times since that post...Probably got it from Shelby Stanton's Order of Battle World War II.

Probably not. Non-divisional artillery battalions were shuttled back and forth between different Corps as needed.

I looked in Order of Battle World War II again, there just isn't much information provided for this unit (and a lot of other non-divisional units). Best you might find is to luck up and read about it in other units histories, if they happen to mention the 226th. The smaller down the org chart you get with these histories, the less likely you will find mention of the battalion, as the smaller units probably didn't know where they were getting the artillery fire from they requested.
