Mount Strachan is located North of Fording River Pass and straddles the Continental Divide marking the Alberta-British Columbia border.[5] It was named in 1918 after Lt. Henry Strachan, VC, a Scottish born Canadian army officer.[1][3] Lt. Strachan was awarded the Victoria Cross after leading his regiment through German lines in World War I, killing seven gunners of a machine gun battery with his own sword and returning safely with his men and 15 prisoners through enemy lines during the night.[5]
