The remains of Major Norsworthy were exhumed after the war from the reference area where they were noted on his "Circumstance of Casualty" document. The CWGC COG-BR shows that he was initially referenced as an "Unknown Canadian Officer, Major of Canada, Royal Highlander and Crown & Kilt". That allowed for his identification as Major Norsworthy, being the only candidate for that set of remains. He was found a 28.c.6.b.3.8 where a large number of men of the 13th Battalion (5th Regiment, Royal Highlanders of Canada) were recovered.

The CWGC Graves Registration Report Form (GRRF) shows that Major Norsworthy is buried in Plot 59 Row B Grave 24 of the Tyne Cot (British) Cemetery. Five (5) other men of the 13th Battalion are listed on the same page. The GRRF was prepared on the basis of the identification noted on the COG-BR (see other image).

CIMETIÈRE DE TYNE COT Belgique
Le cimetière de Tyne Cot est situé à 9 kilomètres au nord-est du centre-ville d'Ypres sur la Tynecotstraat, une route qui rejoint la Zonnebeekseweg (N332). Le cimetière de Tyne Cot se trouve 700 mètres plus loin, sur le côté droit de la Tynecotstraat.
Des fusiliers de Northumberland ont donné le nom de « Tyne Cottages » ou « Tyne Cotts » à un groupe de blockhaus allemands ou casemates situés près du passage à niveau sur la route reliant Passchendaele à Broodseinde. Trois de ces fortins existent toujours dans le cimetière. Le plus gros, qui avait été pris par la troisième division australienne le 4 octobre 1917, a été choisi par le roi George V durant son pèlerinage aux cimetières du front ouest en Belgique et en France en 1922 pour y ériger la Croix du Sacrifice.
Le cimetière Tyne Cot constitue la dernière demeure de près de 12 000 soldats des forces du Commonwealth et compte donc le plus grand nombre de sépultures de tous les cimetières du Commonwealth pour les deux guerres mondiales.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
