Edward George Honey (1885–1922) was an Australian soldier and journalist who is often credited with having conceived the idea of a moment of silence on Armistice Day (now known as Remembrance Day). Honey was educated at Caulfield Grammar School in Melbourne, and served briefly during World War I with the British Army before receiving a medical discharge. He later worked in Melbourne as a journalist for The Argus newspaper.

Famous quotes containing the word honey:
“Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt
Drag out to their last dregs and I resume
On such legs as are left me, in such heart
As I can manage, remember to go home,
My taste will not have turned insensitive
To honey and bread old purity could love.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
