Cecil Hickley

He also played first-class cricket for Western Province in South Africa in 1890/91 and for Somerset in 1898 and 1899.

[3][8] In 1916, he is recorded in the London Gazette as having been awarded the membership of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO) and was promoted to rear-admiral.

[10] Later that same year, in the King's Birthday Honours, he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB).

[12] Hickley was a right-handed middle-order batsman who had a long career in amateur cricket, though very little of it was at first-class level.

[13] He played in minor matches for both Western Province and Cape Colony against Walter Read's cricket team the following season, and against a similar touring side in India, led by Lord Hawke in 1893–94.
