==Biography==
Samuel Lewis Honey went by his middle name, Lewis. He was born on 9 February 1894 in Conn, Ontario〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=DHH- Victoria Cross Bios )〕 to Reverend George Edward Honey and Metta Blaisdell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=CGWC - Casualty Details )〕 Honey was a schoolteacher in civilian life, and planned on attending Victoria College, University of Toronto, for an Arts degree. War interrupted these plans, and Lewis answered the call to arms.
Lewis originally joined the army as a non-commissioned soldier, enlisting 22 January 1915. He earned the Military Medal raiding German trenches on 22 February 1917, and covered his platoon and another in the face of heavy grenade fire. Lewis wrote that his party deserved recognition as much as he did. Lewis fought in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, earning the Distinguished Conduct Medal for leadership and maintaining morale in the face of extremely heavy fire. He was recommended for a commission after the battle, and Lewis earned his commission in 1918. Lewis remained modest about his role, stating in correspondence to family that he was simply lucky.
He was 24 years old, and a lieutenant in the 78th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. On 21 September 1918 at Bourlon Wood, France, he performed a deed at the battle of the Canal du Nord for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross.
