I pulled together some of my Army medical corps related flags for discussion. I have a few general officer flags to add soon along with med flags from other service branches

Here's an extensive page on the 134th Medical Regiment, doesn't seem to be allotted to the New York National Guard when it was formed, despite it having cadre from the NYNG 102nd Medical Regiment. It was redesignated as a Group, 134th Medical Group, "134th Medical Regiment, Camp Upton, New York, reorganized and redesignated 134th Medical Group, 15 September 1943" So the Color probably dates post war, when unit formed u again in like 1946-47 now as a battalion.
