Described as "a gallant officer and a prince, a delightful comrade, as popular as he was genial. He preferred to take his share of the country's work and fight shoulder to shoulder with her defenders. His last wish was characteristic of his noble nature - he desired no royal resting place but elected to be buried by the side of his comrades."
