This mountain was named in 1918 in honour of John Travers Cornwell V.C. Cornwell was a sixteen year old boy who was killed at sea during the First World War during the Battle of Jutland. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his heroism. He was aboard the HMS Chester as it sailed into the greatest sea battle of the First World War. As part of the crew of the forward six inch gun it was his duty to set the gun to the range telephoned to home from fire control. The wounds which resulted in his death were received in the first few minutes of the action. He remained steady at his most exposed post at the gun, waiting for orders. All but two of the ten crew were killed or wounded, and he was the only one who was in such an exposed position. He stayed in his position under heavy fire awaiting orders. HMS Chester is honoured by a Canadian Mountain as well (48019-069).
