Correct, at Wawona in Yosemite NP. Yes, originally used by the military administration of the park. It's been moved a couple of times, signed Acting Superintendents Office.

Thanks. I will try and do a better job this time.

Will accept the mountain - and no, it is not Edith Cavell, neither was the other (it was Sir Sandford). But, bonus points for the trail we are on. I can give a clue but all you smart people might guess it without a clue.

Good guess, similar shape. Wrong range. Not in the Rockies.

Should be a give away now.

Is it in France? Is it the field or the mountain range that is infamous?

I will take a wild guess, but a better photo might help.

Somewhere in Scotland... tarn on Ben Nevis.

Reckon you're right... I think it's the outlet of Lake Harris (the Route Burn itself).

This photo (among others) would appear to confirm Lake Harris:

Considering the game rules, I reckon you should go WFBW.
