MILITARY: The Days of a Man Volume II By David Starr Jordan Yonkers-on-Hudson, New York World Book Company 1922 - Page 651 In June, 1917, our son applied for enrollment in the Naval Reserve, and on October 1 reported for active duty and began he training at San Pedro, California. There he soon received an ensign's commission, and was detailed for service as executive and navigating officer on the U.S.S. Iroquois, mainly engaged in convoying sub-chasers from New London to the Azores. The work was arduous and often dangerous, but he came home unharmed after signing of the Armistice with the rank of junior lieutenant. He has since remained in the Reserve, ready for any possible call-which, nevertheless, he hopes may never come. (Note: Very surprised that Knight was allowed by his father to join the military as his father was a real left wing, anti-military, liberal. Who predicted in 1910, that the world would never go to war again.)
