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. It is the 194th highest mountain in Alberta and the 355th highest mountain in Canada.
