Absolutely Correct !

Today in 1718 John Montague was born in London, England. Montague went on to become England's First Lord Of The Admiralty, Secretary of State and Postmaster General. But he's best known for something he invented. You see, John Montague was also an accomplished gambler, and during a 24-hour long gambling session in 1762 he invented a timesaving nourishment, so that he didn't have to get up from the gambling table. He sliced up a loaf of bread, spread butter on two slices, slapped some meat in between and invented a snack that was named after another of John Montague's titles – the Fourth Earl of Sandwich.

a hero is also a type of sandwich
A hero sandwich, also known as an Italian sub or Italian submarine sandwich, is said to have originated in New York in the late 19th century when Italian laborers wanted a convenient lunch that reminded them of home.
The hero is traditionally at least two Italian meats and provolone cheese on a small or half loaf of crusty Italian bread with roasted peppers, vinegar, olive oil, and lettuce. It is a pork-based sandwich; popular meat choices include ham, prosciutto, pepperoni, capicollo, mortadella and salami.
Tomatoes were not a historical ingredient of the hero, but are often included in modern heroes.
Synonyms and similar sandwiches are called elsewhere in America: heroes, subs, grinders, hoagies or po'boys.
