Footnote: Norman Echartt Burmister was born on September 22, 1897 in Collingwood, Ontario, the son of William Burmister and Margaret Burmister. He was a resident of Collingwood when he signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (690991) with the 173rd Infantry Battalion "Canadian Highlanders", on June 27, 1916 at Niagara Camp, at the age of 18, naming his next-of-kin as his father, William, stating that he was not in an active militia but had previously served for one year in the 35th Regiment, that he was not married, that his religion was Presbyterian and that his trade was that of Sailor. He was insured with an Ocean Accident Policy. The Battalion was raised and mobilized in Hamilton, Ontario, under the authority of G.O.69, July 15, 1916. The Battalion sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia aboard the S.S. Olympic, on November 13, 1916, under the authority of Lieutenant-Colonel W.H. Bruce with a strength of 32 officers and 930 other ranks, arriving in England on the 21st. In England, the Battalion was absorbed into the 2nd Reserve Battalion. Private Burmister was transferred to the Canadian Machine Gun Depot on February 10, 1917 at Bramshott, followed ten weeks later by a transfer to the Machine Gun Pool at Crowborough on April 18, 1917, for service in the French theatre.

The following day, he was transferred and admitted to the 1st Canadian Field Ambulance on the 16th, with "septic sores on his feet" and was treated accordingly.
