A noted horseman and polo player, a well-known champion swordsman, and a competent sailor and sportsman. He was an amateur poet. Sixteen of his analytical papers were published in military magazines, the trade journals of the military profession. While he was a rough and tough soldier, he was also a thoughtful and sentimental man. Unpre-dictable in his actions, he was always dependable. He was outgoing, yet introverted. History proves him to be a complex and paradoxical figure.
