Hold up folks, i dont think the 264 Medical battalion is the right unit.
"Med Det 264th Engr © Bn" this means: Medical Detachment, 264th Engineer Combat Battalion.
The man your looking for is a medic with the 264th Engineer Combat Bn.
The 264th ECB has campaign credits for Central Europe & Rhineland and occupation duty, Germany, 20 May - 19 Sept `45 .
Nothing is found on this unit in the histories but appears to have arrived in europe close to the end of the war so was probably under a Base Section, or Adsec command.
I`d suggest you contact the National Archives at College Park, MD for unit records of the 264th Engineer Combat Battalion, and specificly records of their medical detachment.
