GW103 – Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig
Few British commanders of the First World War remain as debated as Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig.
As Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force from late 1915, Haig oversaw British and Commonwealth armies through major campaigns including the Somme, Passchendaele and the victorious Hundred Days offensives of 1918.
His supporters emphasise the enormous challenges of commanding industrial-scale warfare and the development of increasingly sophisticated combined-arms tactics. Critics point to the immense casualties suffered during offensives under his command.
GW103 – Field Marshal Lord Haig therefore represents one of the central figures in the history and continuing debate surrounding the Western Front.
Available from The Military Workshop – a Thomas Gunn portrayal of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during the decisive years of the Great War.
Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig is remembered as a central—and controversial—figure in First World War command history, associated with the evolution of large-scale industrial warfare and the immense human cost of trench combat on the Western Front.
Brand: Thomas Gunn
