We, my girl and I recently found an old 1942 induction poster with the names of this guys medical bregade on it.
Does anybody know what the Company B of the 3rd regiment of the medical corps is and where they trained???
It is a cool poster, it has a tattered flag being marched forward by 4 troopers in the upper left, the bottom left has a horse charge scean, the bottom has a few howitzer pictures in it and it has a center of gold with the gold eagle resting on President Rosevelt with the greetings and explanation, on the bottom of this gold center area it ahs the whole platoon, I guess, with 9 names hand written, and underneasth that is an area for a picture of the medic which was never placed there.
It is pretty cool and going in the "MAN" room.

See if you can ID any of the insignias on their uniforms, then you may be able to figure out the division and their history.

Yes as cbear says if you can see a patch you can research it. The Army has detailed liniage for it's units. You can see what they used to be as opposed to what they are now. believe it or not the Army makes a big deal about that sort of thing. Can you take a photo and post it? Have you went to any Army medical corps websites yet?
