==Early life and naval career==
Burke was born in Boulder, Colorado on October 19, 1901, to Oscar Burke and Clara Mokler. His grandfather, August Björkgren was a Swedish immigrant to the US and changed his surname to 'Burke' (a popular Irish surname) to sound more 'American'.〔http://www.history.navy.mil/bios/burke_barlow.htm〕 Due to the 1918 influenza outbreak, schools were closed in Boulder and he never graduated from High School. He won an alternate appointment to the Naval Academy given by his local congressman. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in June 1923, and was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy. He married Miss Roberta Gorsuch of Washington, D.C.
Over the next 18 years, Burke served in battleships and destroyers, and earning a Master of Science in Engineering at the University of Michigan. When World War II came, he found himself, to his great disappointment, in a shore billet at the Naval Gun Factory in Washington, D.C. After persistent efforts on his part, he received orders to join the fighting in the South Pacific.
