Mount Cornwell is located on the Continental Divide at Kananaskis of the Canadian Rockies. The mountain was named in 1918 after John Cornwell, a sixteen year old crewman aboard the "HMS Chester", which was severely damaged in the Battle of Jutland. [http://www.peakfinder.com/peakfinder.ASP?PeakName=Mount+Cornwell Mt. Cornwell on Peakfinder] ] Cornwell was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery during the battle. Mount Chester was also named after his ship.
