2998 Private John F. Hickey.
The Royal Irish Regiment.
2nd Battalion.
originally
5712 Private John F. Hickey.
The Royal Munster Fusiliers.

Aged 51.
Before enlisting, he had been a Shoemaker.
He had joined at the start of the war, and had been wounded.
At the time of his death, he was then based in Dublin, and it would appear that his injuries were sufficient to require Home Service rather than Front Service, hence the transfer of Regiment.

The christening of John Hickey, son of Francis Hickey and Mary O'Riordan Hickey, took place at Millstreet R.C. Church on 24 November 1867.

For further details, see the bio of his mother.
