Enlisted in the 48th Highlanders of 26 September 1904 at the age of 27 being born in 1877. He received his Sergeant certificate in the fall of 1906.

He resigned 26 September 1907. It appears that he was placed at that time in an auxiliary role (Civilian) as the next entry is “Aug 1/5/08” with “Aug” referring to augmentary. He is shown as Colour Sergeant at an A Company Dinner program in 1913. He organized the dinner and was likely a member of the A Company Association. Fussell left Canada in  the 1920’s to live in Southern California.
