Hjalmer was born in Lillehammer, Norway on February 15, 1893. He filed on a homestead at SW 24-70-12-W6 in 1916, and the same year enlisted in the Canadian Army. His brother, Kristian Imerslund, also served during World War I. Hjalmer’s service file gives conflicting reports as to his current address in 1922; one document says Manitoba, while the other says Tofield.
