Douglas Haig, Scottish-born British soldier, 1916
Douglas Haig, Scottish-born British soldier, 1916. Haig (1861-1928) was appointed Commander-in-Chief of British and Empire forces in France in 1915. His conduct of the war on the Western Front was controversial. On the one hand, his pursuit of a strategy of attrition and planning of offensives which ultimately made minimal territorial gains at the cost of massive casualties, as at the Somme (1916) and Passchendaele (1917), earned him the nickname Butcher Haig. General John J Pershing, commander of the US army in France, described Haig as the man who won the war, however. He was made a Field Marshal in 1917, and after the war served as Commander-in-Chief of Home Forces until 1921

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Douglas Haig, a Scottish-born British soldier, in 1916. Appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of British and Empire forces in France in 1915, Haig's conduct during the war on the Western Front was both controversial and influential. Known for his pursuit of a strategy of attrition and meticulous planning of offensives, Haig's tactics resulted in minimal territorial gains but at an immense cost of casualties. This earned him the infamous nickname "Butcher Haig". However, General John J Pershing, commander of the US army in France, hailed him as the man who won the war. The portrait captures Haig dressed immaculately in his military uniform as he gazes into the distance with determination. His stern expression reflects his role as a commanding figure during World War I. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment from over a century ago. Sir Douglas Haig went on to become a Field Marshal in 1917 and served as Commander-in-Chief of Home Forces until 1921 after the war ended. Despite differing opinions about his strategies and methods employed during battle, there is no denying that he played a significant role in shaping history. This print serves as a powerful reminder of one man's leadership amidst one of humanity's most devastating conflicts – World War I. It symbolizes bravery, sacrifice, controversy, and ultimately prompts us to reflect upon the complexities surrounding wartime decisions made by leaders like Sir Douglas Haig.
