A labourer from Sale, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Lewis embarked with the 15th Reinforcements, 8th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Wiltshire on 7 March 1916. Later transferring to the 59th Battalion he was wounded in the hip, abdomen and leg and was evacuated to England. Due to the severity of his wounds he returned to Australia on 2 December 1916 and was medically discharged.
