Sir Samuel Hughes, KCB, PC (January 8, 1853 – August 23, 1921) was the Canadian Minister of Militia and Defence during World War I. He was notable for being the last Liberal-Conservative cabinet minister, until he was dismissed from his cabinet post.
==Early life==
Hughes was born January 8, 1853, at Solina near Bowmanville in what was then Canada West. Hughes went to high school at Blessed Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Grimsby, Ontario. He was later educated in Durham County and later attended the Toronto Normal School and the University of Toronto. In 1866 he joined the 45th West Durham Battalion of Infantry and fought against the Fenian raids in the 1860s and 1870s (''Capon, Alan. His Faults Lie Gently, pg. 20''). He later claimed, in the British ''Who's Who'', to have "personally offered to raise" Canadian contingents for service in "the Egyptian and Sudanese campaigns, the Afghan Frontier War, and the Transvaal War".〔Note the order in which they are quoted is not chronological.〕
He was a teacher from 1875 to 1885, when he moved his family to Lindsay, where he had bought ''The Victoria Warder'', the local newspaper. He was the paper's publisher from 1885 to 1897.
