Not sure who made that initial entry or what it said, but men actively observing AIF operations on behalf of the government at that time (eg Keith Murdoch) and other more modern historians such as Les Carlyon certainly have a very poor opinion of Godley, whom they regarded as cold, uncaring for his charges (if not actively antagonistic towards them), robotic and unimaginative. I've add a verifiable reference to that end.
