Mount McHarg

Mount McHarg stands in western Canada within Height of the Rockies Provincial Park, straddling the Continental Divide on the Alberta–British Columbia border. It was named in 1918 for Lieutenant Colonel William Frederick Richard Hart-McHarg of the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles). Before his military career, Hart-McHarg practised law in Rossland, British Columbia. He had previously fought in the Boer War, where he was badly wounded, and later died during a reconnaissance mission in World War I. In Vancouver, the Georgia Viaduct was originally named the McHarg Viaduct in his honour.
