Mount Helmer is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia, East of Waitabit Creek and North of Golden.[4] It was named in 1924 after Brigadier-General Richard Alexis Helmer (1864-1920) and his son Alexis Helmer (1892-1915) were killed in battle and was part of the inspiration for In Flanders Fields through his friendship with John McCrae.[1][2][5] It is the 194th highest mountain in Alberta and the 355th highest mountain in Canada.[6]
