US Army 45th Medical Btn. Crest, WWII or earlier?

[55rocker52]

Hello one and all. I haven't been on in a while, but just came across this 45th Medical Btn. crest which I haven't had before. I don't find Eby marked crests too often. I wanted to get your idea on it, if it would be WWII or before?

Also I tried to find out what regiment that they would have been attached to during WWII? I found a site for 45th Med. Btn. veterans for locating buddies, but no info on the unit or where they were during the war. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I think they were part of 3rd Armored Div.

So these guys were a big part of the "Liberation Army" I see. Now I know a bit more about the "Spearhead Medics." They were seemingly a very welcomed site for the camps that they liberated.
