William Concannon Walsh (April 2, 1890 – June 17, 1975) was a justice of the Maryland Court of Appeals from 1924 to 1926, State Insurance Commissioner from 1931 to 1935, and Attorney General of Maryland from 1938 to 1945.[1][2]
Born in Cumberland, Maryland, to William Edward Walsh and Mary C. [Concannon] Walsh, he attended Saint Patrick's School in Cumberland and received a B.A. from Mount St. Mary's University in 1910, and an LL.B. from Catholic University School of Law in 1913.[1] He was the grandson of former Attorney General, William Walsh.
Walsh entered into private practice in Cumberland until 1916, when he joined the First Maryland Infantry. He served in the campaign in Mexico against Pancho Villa, and in France during World War I.[1]
