Very interesting. This is what I found on the 50th Division:
The 50th US Infantry Division was a not-existing unit created as a part of the 1st US Army Group. This unit was created to mislead the Germans in beleaving that the Allied-forces would land near Calais.

The British did have a 50th Infantry Division.
However, 268 Field Artillery Battalion resorted under V Corps at the time of the Batlle of the Bulge.
from 30 August 1944 to 11 September 1944 they were attached to the 83rd Infantry Division.
Also
Arthur Walter Blairactivated and commanded the 268th Field Artillery Battalion. Training continued at Camp Wolters and Fort Bragg before he took his troops overseas in July 1944.
They fought across France, Belgium, Holland, and into Germany with the 8-inch gun, the largest weapon of the ground forces. Blair’s battalion was classified as “Army Artillery†and fought with the First, Third, and Ninth Armies. During late December, his outfit was north of the Bulge area near the Ruhr River. During the heavy shelling on Christmas morning, a direct hit inflicted heavy casualties on he and his men. They are buried together, as he had requested, at the beautiful American Cemetery outside Liege, Belgium

Herbert Baruchler is buried in The Netherlands, so I will add him to my website.
If you go to Google.com and type in "268th Field Artillery" you will find some hits. It seems they were more often attached to the 83rd and also fought in Holland.
I will try to get more information.
I hope this helps,
