EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, a distinguished British soldier during the early 20th century. Created by artist HW Barnett, this colorised image brings to life the remarkable features of Haig's face and body. Haig, born in 1861 and passing away in 1928, held the prestigious position of Commander of the British Forces in France throughout World War One. His leadership played a pivotal role in some of the most notable episodes of the Great European War from 1914 to 1918. Adorned with numerous medals that symbolize his bravery and dedication to his country, Haig stands as an embodiment of courage and resilience amidst one of history's deadliest conflicts. The gold braid on his uniform signifies his high rank as a field marshal. Often referred to as "Butcher Haig" due to controversial decisions made during the war, this portrait offers a glimpse into both sides of his complex legacy. While opinions may differ on his strategies, there is no denying that he left an indelible mark on Britain's military history. Preserved within The Illustrated War Record publication from around 1920, this print serves as a powerful reminder not only of Haig himself but also of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War One. It captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to those who fought valiantly for their nations amidst unimaginable adversity.
