Sir Robert Baden-Powell

It is this capacity for tireless patience, and for watchful coolness, combined with the natural buoyant gaiety for which baden-powell has always been known, that gives the key to the whole character of the individual. Baden-powell must not be estimated by the general conception the public appear to have formed of him as the genial humorist, for such an estimate obscures a just notion of him. The public, quick to generalise from particular cases, notably the 'one dog killed' incident of the Mafeking report, are apt to see only a personality which is bubbling over with high spirits, and to lose the idea of the tireless, wary, responsible officer in the process. This is not to minimise the value of humour and exuberant Spirits in the handling of bodies of men who may be labouring under the stress of abnormal tension.
