William J. Losh was born in Oakland, California, October 1, 1896. After serving in World War I in the Army Ambulance Service,

In 1939, he formed a public relations firm with John C. Lee and specialized in publicity for various conservation interests.
He served as a member of the San Francisco Mayor's United Nations Conference Committee (1951), and executive secretary of
