History of  Memorial:

LIEUT. S. LEWIS HONEY, V.C., D.C.M., M.M.
1894-1918

 Born at Conn, Honey enlisted in January, 1915 with the 34th
Battalion C.E.F. and served in France with the 78th Battalion.
During a Canadian attack in September, 1918, in the Bourlon
Wood area, he reorganized his unit under severe fire, and
rushed a machine-gun post single-handed, capturing the guns
and ten prisoners. Later he repelled four enemy counter-
attacks and led a party which took another post and three guns.
On September 29 he led his company against a strong enemy
position and was mortally wounded on the last day of the
attack. For his conspicuous bravery, Lieutenant Honey was
posthumously awarded the British Empire's highest decoration
for military valour, the Victoria Cross.
