Mount Helmer is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named in 1924 after Brigadier-General Richard Alexis Helmer (1864-1920) and his son Alexis Helmer (1892-1915) was killed in battle and was part of the inspiration for In Flanders Fields through his friendship with John McCrae.[1][2] [3] It is the 194th highest mountain in Alberta and the 355th highest mountain in Canada.
