D.C.M. London Gazette 1.5.1918 361 Pte. M. Hickey, Conn. Rang. (Dublin)
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. As company runner he was sent on a message to battalion headquarters, and on his way picked up a badly wounded man and carried him to safety over 200 yards of shell-swept ground, after which he delivered his message. Later, he carried in two more wounded men, though exposed all the time to heavy machine-gun fire. Throughout the operations he showed an indefatigable energy and an utter-disregard of danger.'
