Talk:Loretta Perfectus Walsh

Research Results
09MAR07 - Contacted a Photo archivist at the Naval Historical Center, who did a search and was unable to find a specific photograph of Loretta Walsh. An historian from the center, Dr. Akers, will be providing me with some additional documents pertaining to YNC Loretta Walsh. I will post any additional information which is not reflected on the current page. Phenix2099 21:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Phenix2099

Al Nofi, Nov 13, '06: How was it possible for her to enlist two days before the Navy authorized the enlistment of women?

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=28491330 Her picture is apparently here... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.214.91.64 (talk) 15:55, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Cause of death
Since she died of such a young age I think specifying the cause of death is needed. Mikemill (talk) 02:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. That's what I came here to say.  --Doradus (talk) 05:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ditto. I did a quick Google search but found nothing, so I hope someone can shed light here. - Team4Technologies (talk) 10:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Memorial pic
Does the memorial picture have to be so gaudy? Is that what the real one looks like, because if not, it needs to be changed to something more encyclopedic... I tried following the citation to see, but it was out of date and the link was broken. Nerrolken (talk) 03:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * IMO the image should be removed and text used. The image is hard enough to read without impairment and currently it doesn't seem to have any alt text for a screen reader if one did have an impairment. Mikemill (talk) 08:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Question
The article says, "At age 18, on March 17, 1917, Walsh engaged in a four-year enlistment in the U.S. Naval Reserve..." However, given her listed birthday, wouldn't she have been 20? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.207.39.71 (talk) 07:48, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
