3.Australian Naval & Military Expedition.Officers Confidential Reports
Company Commanders.
Major R.H. Beardsmore. Is keen & willing, but is wanting in military [instinct?] & of rather an excitable temperament, on the whole his company work has been satisfactory.
Major E.F. Martin. A keen & zealous officer possesses sound judgment & good general military knowledge, He has been engaged on special work at Frederick Williamshafen & is an officer in whom I have every confidence.
Captain S.W. Ralston. A steady, keen & capable company commander carried out his duties quite satisfactorily and can be relied upon to full fill all that is required from him when acting independently. A Major in Australian Army sank his rank to accompany the expedition.
Capt. E.C. Norrie A steady, reliable officer of medium ability was detailed as O.C. of Nauru garrison, where his services gave every satisfaction.
