SIX WESTERN ONTARIO BOYS
WON VICTORIA CROSS
All Ranks and All Branches of Service Represented In Annals
of Heroic Deeds.
1n the cool, official language of the
London Gazette," His Majesty the
King has been graciously pleased to
approve the award of the Victoria
Cross" to some 57, officers, noncom-
missioned officers and men of the Ca-
nadian Expeditionary Force for valor
and devotion to duty during the pres-
ent war. From time to time the tales
of the heroic deeds which were deem-
ed worthy of suclt recognition have
come to the public notice, but is is
difficult in cold print to describe the
gallantry and, in many cases, the spirit
of sacrafice which characterized these
deeds of courage.
Men from the London Military Dis-
trict, who volunterrecl their services.
come in for their full proportion of
Victoria Crosses. Six of the coveted
Medals have conte back to Western
Ontario, though only two of the six
whiners lived to receive the decoration
front the hands of the King.
Half a dozen of different ranks and as
many branches of the service are rep-
resented in the little list of Western
Ontario men. There is a private who,
at the age of 19, perforated the heroic
act which won for him the highest pos-
sible honor, and Cher is lieutenant -
Colonel
1 e 1 t
a
Colonel from the sante Ontario city
who, though of higher rank, could win
00 higher distinction. Corporal and
captain appear side by side in the list.
The number of Military Crosses,
Military Medals and Distinguished Con-
duct Medals awarded ;to men of this
district must be calculated in hun-
dreds. The winners of many of these,
no doubt, were recommended for the
higher award of the- V. 'C. and the
deeds ascribed to then) are worthy of
the homage of those whose bravery
in battle exceeded all records is ac-
corded the highest horror of all , and
in the roll of the bravest they are the
outstanding ones.
HOW TO WIN IT.
There is no method "laid down" for
winning the V. C„ as witness the
variety of achievements for which it
was granted in the few cases in this
military district. To charge m1 -enemy
machine gun single-handed, kill all
the crew, and hold off the opposing
forces, though wounded and greatly
outnumbered, won it in one case, the
successful delivery of an important
message through an intense barrage at
the cost of his life resulted in the
award in another. But in all of them
there was devotion to duty in the high-
est possible degree, outstanding gal-
lattry, personal courage or determined
leadership,
Take the case of Pte, Thomas Wil-
liam Holmes, the 19 -year-old V. C.
whose original unit was the 147t11 Bat -
511110n, and whose home is ill Owen
Sound. His bravery was of a most
resourceful character. It was daring
an attack that he put three machine
guns out of action and captured 19
prisoners -all single-handed. The
Gazette describes it:
"Our attack was held up by heavy
machine gun and rifle tire from a "pill-
box" strong point. Heavy casualties
were producing a critical situation,
when Pte. Holmes, on his own initia-
tive, and single-hauded, ran forward
and threw two bombs, killing and
wounding the crews of two machine
guns. He then returned to his com-
rades, secured another bomb, and
again rushed forward, under heavy fire
and threw the bomb ?uta the entrance
of the "pill -box," causing the 19 oecu-
plutts to surrender,
"13y this act of valor at a very criti-
cal ntonfent, Pte, Holmes undoubtedly
cleared the way for the advance of our
troops and saved the lives of many of
his comrades."
"Tommy" Holmes tied the honor of
a special audience with the King at
Buckingham Palace to receive his lued-
al.
WAS HERE WITH 18TH,
Londoners saw a few years ago, in
the ranks of the 18511 Battalion which
trained here, a man who was destined
later to win the most coveted of medals
-Lance-Sergeant Ellis -Welwood Sifton,
of Wallacetown. Lance-Sergt. Sifton
was killed in carrying out the deed for
which he won distinction, but the
medal came to Canada and was pre-
seated to his parents at the Canadian
National Exhibition fast year.
It was a most gallant deed which
won Sifton the cross. During an at-
tack in enemy trenches his company
was held up by "machine gun fire,
which was inflicting many casualties.
The sense of helplessness under the
strain made way In- Sergi, Sifton's mind
for a determination to help himself
and his comrades. Having located the
enemy gun, he charged it single-hand-
ed and killed all the crew.
A small enemy party advanced down
the trench, but Sergt. Sifton succeeded
in keeping then[ of till his Wren had
gained the position. In carrying out
this act 11e was killed, but his conspic-
uous valor undoubtedly saved many
lives and contributed largely to the
success of the operation.
WHO GETS THE GUN?
Just at themoment C

Clinton shall obtain possession of the

Corp. Miner is one of the new omen
in the Canadian Expeditionary Force
who won the French decoration, the
Croix de Guerre, which in the list of
trench medals ranks very high.
A public presentation of the two
medals, the Victoria Cross and the
Croix de Guerre, is being arranged at
Chatham. The recipients will be the
parents of Corp. Miner, Mr. and Mrs.
John Miner, of Park street, of that
city. The date for the event is not
yet settled, but it is likely to be some
time in the near future,
A SCHOOLMASTER V. C.
Lieut. Samuel Lewis Honey, D. C.
M„ M, M., V. C., enlisted in February,
1955, at Walkerton, Bruce County. In
the ranks he won the Distinguished
Conduct Medal and the Military Medal.
Then after receiving his commission he
took part in the Bourlon Wood opera-
tions from 27th of September to 2nd
of October, 1915, and it was there he
won the highest of all his decorations
and incidentally was fatally wounded.
Lieut. Honey was by profession,} a
school -master and before enlisting in
the C. E. F. had no connection with
military matters, The story of his
heroism is told to The Gazette as fol-
lows: -
"On the 27th of September, when
his company commander and all other
officers of his company had become
casualties, Lieut. Honey took command
and skillfully reorganized under very
severe tire. He continued the offen-
sive with great dash and wolf the ob-
jective. Then finding
that
his coru-
pany was suffering casualties from ee-
tilade machine gun fire, he located the

prisoners.
"Subsequently he repelled tour
'enemy counterattacks and after dark a-
gain went out alone and having located
an enemy post led a party which cap-
tur2d the post and three guns.
"On the 29th of September he led
Ids company against a strong enemy
position with great skill and daring and
continued in the succeeding please of
the battle to display the same high ex-
ample of valor and self-sacrifice,"
AN "ORIGINAL FIRST."
Early in the war an officer of the
original 1st Battalion, Capt. Frederick
William Campbell of Mount Forest won
the Victoria Cross for gallantry at the
German first line with one gun and
maintained, his position there under
very heavy rifle, machine gun and
bomb tire, notwithstanding the fact
that almost the whole of his detach-
ment had been killed or wounded.
When tine supply of bombs among his
men had become exhausted, he led hls
party to a still more advanced position
and by tiring about 1,000 rounds suc-
ceeded in holding back the enemy
counterattacks. Capt. Campbell him-
self acted as a support for the machine
gun which the few remaining members
of his cre1v, continued to operate. This
very gallant officer was subsequently
wounded and has since died.
THE "ACE OF ACES"
in the realm of the airmen there
have been almost superhuman deeds
perforated in the course of the war,
but none of them have surpassed in
valor and reckless achievement the
record of Lieut. -Col. William Avery Bis-
hop, D. S. O.. M. C., the Owen Sound
"ace of aces," This young flier has
some four -score Hun machines to his
credit and qubtified for V. t., many
times over, But thz pSrtiCelar in-
cident which won hint the honor was
performed when he was out alone
"looking for trouble" well back out of
the Hun lines.
Capt. Bishop, as he was then, had
been sent o t to work independently
and flew firs of all to an enemy aero-
drome; finding no machines about he
flew to another areodrome, at feast
12 miles back of the German lines.
Seven machines, some with their en-
gines running, were on the ground.
He attacked these from a height of a-
bout 50 feet and a mechanic who was
starting one of the machines was seen
to fall. One of the nnachinss got off
the ground, but at a height of 80 feet
Capt. Bishop fired about 15 rounds in-
• to it at very close range and it "crash-
ed."
A second machine got off the ground
into which lie fired 30 rounds at 150
yards range and it fell into a tree.
Two more machines then rose from
the aerodrome. Otte of these he en-
gaged at the height of 1,000 feet,
emptying tine rest of his drum of
ammunition. This machine crashed
300 yards from the aerodrome, after
which the dauntless aviator emptied a
whole drum into the fourth hostile
plane and flew back to his station,
Four hostile scouts were about
1,000 feet above flim for a utile of the
return Journey, but they would not
attack.
