EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig (1861-1928), is seen in a serious and determined pose, reflecting the gravity of his role as Commander-in-chief of the British Forces in France and Flanders during the Great War (1914-1918). The year is 1916, and the First Battle of the Somme is raging in the background, a brutal and costly conflict that would claim the lives of over one million soldiers and civilians. Haig's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of resolve and determination, as he leads his troops through the carnage of the battlefield. Haig's moustache, a distinctive feature of his military uniform, adds to his imposing appearance. The moustache was a popular style among British military officers of the time, and Haig's neatly trimmed version became synonymous with the image of the British commander during the war. Haig's military career began in the late 19th century, and he rose through the ranks to become a general in 1911. When World War I broke out, he was appointed to lead the British Expeditionary Force in France, a position he held until the end of the war. Despite criticism from some quarters for the high number of casualties suffered by British troops under his command, Haig is remembered for his leadership and his role in helping to bring an end to the war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers under his command, and the immense responsibility that Haig bore as the commander of the British Forces during one of the most significant conflicts in world history.
