EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the image of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, atop his horse against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle's historic Esplanade. Haig, who commanded the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from 1915 until the end of World War I, is most famously associated with his leadership during some of the war's most significant battles. Among these were the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and the 3rd Battle of Ypres in 1917. Haig's strategic decisions during these engagements led to a series of victories that ultimately contributed to the German surrender in 1918. The bronze statue, a tribute to Haig's military prowess, stands proudly on horseback, reflecting the indomitable spirit of the British forces during this pivotal period in history. The statue's location at Edinburgh Castle, a symbol of Scotland's rich history and cultural heritage, further emphasizes the significance of Haig's role in shaping the course of the war. Field Marshal Haig's military career spanned over four decades, and his leadership during World War I remains a subject of intense historical debate. Regardless of one's perspective on his tactics and decisions, there is no denying the profound impact he had on the outcome of the war. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of nations hung in the balance.
