EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig (1861-1928), as he pays a visit to the British Legion Poppy Factory around 1927. Haig, a senior officer of the British Army, commanded the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front during World War I. The image shows Haig in deep thought as he holds a box of bright red poppies, the symbol of remembrance for the fallen servicemen and servicewomen of the war. The British Legion Poppy Factory was established in 1921 to provide employment and rehabilitation for disabled ex-servicemen and women. Haig's visit to the factory was a significant moment in the history of the Poppy Appeal, which began in 1921 and has since become an integral part of Remembrance Day commemorations in the UK. The 1920s image of Haig, with its solemn atmosphere and the backdrop of the poppy-filled factory, serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the enduring legacy of the British Legion's work in supporting those who served.
