This mountain was named in 1948 in honour of Second Lieutenant Edmund De Wind VC. De Wind's Victoria Cross citation reads: "For most conspicuous bravery and self-sacrifice on the 21st March, 1918, at the Race Course Redoubt, near Grugies, France. For seven hours he held this most important post, and though twice wounded and practically single-handed, he maintained his position until another section could be got to his help. On two occasions, with two NCO's only, he got out on top under heavy machine gun and rifle fire, and cleared the enemy out of the trench, killing many. He continued to repel attack after attack until he was mortally wounded and collapsed. His valour, self-sacrifice and example were of the highest order."

This mountain was named in 1949 in honour of Corporal George Campion MM. Cpl Campion was awarded the Military Medal for his actions on the attack on Ortona. On 22 December 1943, A Company of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment were attacking down main street of Ortona, Italy, supported by a troop of tanks when a mine field was spotted about 25 meters in front of the leading tank. All the infantry were pinned inside buildings by machine gun fire from four guns. Campion gathered a pocket full of smoker grenades from his platoon, ran 25 meters beyond the mine field in the open street and threw his grenades. A perfect smoke screen resulted. This allowed the Engineers to clear the field.
