Edith Louise Cavell (1865-1915) was a British nurse during World War I. In 1907, she went to Brussels as a nurse, but by 1914 was put in charge of a unit whose main purpose was to help soldiers trapped behind enemy lines rejoin their units.

To the German army, this was treason, and she was executed by firing squad. Today she is remembered as a heroine, and to some, a martyr

In 1916, the snow-capped face of Mt Edith Cavell 3,363 m. (11,033 ft.) peak was renamed in her honour.
