As platoon leader, while serving with the 4th Dragoons (a unit, at the time of his arrival, consisted mostly of colonial troops), he was promoted to squadron leader and at rank of captain, as decorated by Belgians and French, for courage in action, which he insisted should be credited to the bravery of his subordinates, who even came to gift him with grisly necklaces made with ears of enemy soldiers.

Como líder de pelotón, mientras servía en esta unidad (cuyas filas, cuando él llegó, consistían en su mayoría de tropas coloniales), fue condecorado por los belgas y los franceses por su valentía, la cual él insistía debería ser atribuida a la valentía de sus subordinados.
