The company he led excels in all branches of service, and by virtue of his practical skill, his calm security and his gift he knew how to keep the good will of the soldiers active, and to his energies brought in at the right time that favorable result without using the forces of the teams too much. Even with subordinate officers, he knows how to maintain his full authority in service with a comradely tone in social interactions.
