In his position in the battalion’s battalion company, he was in close contact with most of the soldiers who loved him and appreciated his dedication and kindness. He especially liked going out with the tank companies to long series in the field, where he could contribute and help in a special way. As head of a platoon in the regiment, Benny showed great consideration to his soldiers, sometimes giving up his vacations. He never refused his commanders’ request to come especially as a pioneer during the mobilization of the regiment, and always in good spirits with a smile on his face. I felt that we had lost a dear friend and an excellent soldier. “
