WW1

Blinco Loyal William, 1847173, Oregon Naval Militia,  US Navy.

1916

• 11^th Apr. Loyal joins the Oregon Naval Militia at Portland, age 22 on the 11^th April 1916.

• Dec. About 8 months into his two tear term it appears that Loyal two years service with the Oregon Naval Militia is terminated. See draft image for source.

1917

• 1st Jun. Drafted while working for George A Drake and Co. Detroit. Occupation Paper Ruler. Card states previous service 8 months with the ONM.
• Listed as a Naval recruit in 1917 Seaman 3^rd Class, Apprentice Seaman Washington National Guard Pamphlet.

• 30 August. Joins 9th Naval Militia in Seattle
• 3 September. Transferred to Federal Navy Reserve

Its very likely that Loyal was with the US Navy operating in the Pacific. There was very little combat action for the Navy in this Ocean in WW1 and so we can expect that loyal had a fairly quiet war service.

1919

• Discharged and returned home.
