He commanded from 1900, the Dragoon Regiment 2, 1904, the Cavalry Brigade 1 and from 1910 the Infantry Brigade 1. Although Loy never staff officer had been, he was appointed Oberstdivisionär promoted and commanded from 1913 to his death in active service , the 2nd Division .
In August 1916, in a letter to the editor to the Solothurner Zeitung , which he signed as division commander, he supported a contribution by the young Eugen Bircher that was critical of the government . One would bow to foreign countries like cowards and there was no longer any sense of honor or national pride. The Swiss government thereupon demanded disciplinary punishment from the Commander-in-Chief, General Wille . The general merely reprimanded him.
