This mountain was named in 1964 in honour of F/Sgt Frank Morro from Cranbrook, BC. He was killed on 4 December 1943 when his No 429 Squadron Halifax bomber was shot down at Kleikenkneten Germany during an operation to Leipzig.
Frank Morro, Jim “Moose” Haley (Mount Haley), Stewart Flett (Flett Peak), and Len Dingley (Mount Dingley) were members of a Cranbrook based Rover group that explore the mountains of the area together prior to joining the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. All four were killed in action while serving with Bomber Command. These mountains were named in their honour.
