EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken around 1920, this image showcases a momentous period in history when Haig succeeded Lord French as the leader at the General Staff Headquarters of the French Army. Dressed in military attire, Earl Haig exudes authority and determination. His full-length figure stands tall against a backdrop that symbolizes both triumph and tragedy. Known for his strategic leadership during one of humanity's deadliest conflicts, Haig earned himself nicknames like "Butcher Haig". However, this photograph invites us to delve deeper into understanding the complexities behind such labels. The book from which this image originates - "The Great World War: A History" - edited by Frank A Mumby provides valuable insights into this era.
