Illinois Naval Reserve Quincy division tale of ships and drills
The Quincy naval reserves, 2 officers and 67 men, train aboard boats on Lake Michigan and along the Mississippi, with Lieut. W. A. Johnson in command and Lieut. W. C. Edwards as assistant. Since 1897 the unit has shifted from gunboats to the Somers, Dubuque, and Isle De Luzon, conducting target practice, small-boat handling, and gun drills. The division earned the Navy Department’s Reserve Gunnery trophy in 1914 and impressed naval inspectors with their discipline and readiness for service.
