Today a friend told me she'd had a great mountain hike in Kananaskis Country, Alberta. They'd been on the Mount Lipsett trail. I asked her if she knew that General Louis Lipsett was a soldier in WWI in command of Canadians including the Winnipeg Rifles, and that he was killed in action in October 1918. She did not. Few people know that many peaks and even a highway in the Alberta Rockies are named after Great War heroes. Mount Edith Cavell after the famous nurse executed by the Germans, Mount Morrison after Major General Sir Edward Morrison, Mount Lipsett and the Smith-Dorrien Highway after General Horace Smith-Dorrien to name a few. I've never been able to find out who was responsible for this WAY back in the early 20s probably. But it's nice in any case.

A visit to Pond Farm today. Fascinating as usual. General Arthur Currie was here during the 2nd Battle of Ypres and apparently had to jump out of a window before the original farmhouse was was blown off the map. That oak tree has been here since WWI!
