"Put up your hands and come this way or I will shoot you like bloody dogs" so said Sgt Steele at Glenrowan.

Steele claimed a lot of the credit for bringing Ned down with shots to his legs.
Other police present at Glenrowan, such as Phillips, claimed later that Steele 
was not as deserving as he made out. That he was one of many who finally
brought Ned down and that Ned actually tripped.

Certainly Steele was foolhardy in his firing, he did his best to shoot Ann Jones
and even boasted of it.  

He wounded innocent civilians caught up in the battle and
tried to finish off Ned once captured and lying wounded.

Steele was awarded a silver sword by the Stock Protection Association for 
his efforts in stopping stock theft. 

The Royal Commission was not impressed with Steele.
