This mountain was named in 1916 by Arthur O. Wheeler. This mountain honours the lowest ranking soldiers of the French Army who battled the invading Germans during the First World War. One week following the armistice which ended the First World War, eleven peaks in the Kananaskis area were named after prominent French military leaders. "Les Annales" a French publication, had suggested that one mountain be named for the great hero of the age, the humble and fascinating poilu.

This certificate lists the names of those from Black Diamond who served in the Canadian military during the Second World War. The Black Diamond Women’s Institute made up the “For King and Country” plaque in 1945-46, commemorating the members of the Black Diamond Community who volunteered for active service with Canada’s Fighting Forces. The Lettering on the plaque was done by Ian McLaren, and the total size of the framed certificate is 41.5 inches tall by 24 inches wide.. This plaque was dedicated to the Town of Black Diamond in 1946. The plaque hung for many years in the Library which was located at the Griffiths Memorial Centre. For the last several years, it has been proudly displayed in the Town of Black Diamond’s Council Chambers. To ensure the living legacy of this wonderful historical plaque, the Town of Black Diamond donated it to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No. 78 in 2006.
