EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait print captures the esteemed Lieutenant-General Douglas Haig, a pivotal figure in British military history during World War I. Painted by renowned artist John St. Helier Lander, this image showcases Haig in his role as Commander of the First Corps of the British Expeditionary Force.
Haig's leadership was instrumental during this tumultuous period, as he succeeded Sir John French as Commander in Chief in December 1915. Despite facing intense criticism for his tactics and decisions during the war of attrition, Haig remained steadfast in his commitment to leading Britain through one of its most challenging times.
After the war ended in 1918, Haig shifted his focus to caring for British ex-servicemen by founding the Royal British Legion. This dedication to supporting those who had served their country highlights Haig's compassion and sense of duty beyond the battlefield.
As we reflect on this historical figure's legacy, it is important to recognize both his contributions and controversies. This portrait serves as a reminder of Haig's significant impact on British military history and his enduring commitment to serving others long after the guns fell silent.
