British Field Marshal Haig commanded the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) in France for about the last three years of WWI. Lloyd George, in particular, detested Haig, but could not sack him because Haig was a favorite of the King.
Douglas Haig.
I know of two General Haigs; one a British general from World War 1, and the other a US general from the Vietnam War. Can you specify?
The most famous general of World War 1 was probably General Douglas Haig of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF). He led the BEF during the critical battles of the war, including the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. Haig's leadership and decisions during the war remain controversial and have been the subject of much debate and criticism.
Douglas Haig was a British soldier, a British Field Marshal, and a British Commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in world war 1.
because you a bellend
He was called 'The Butcher of the Somme'. Some Germans said in World War 1 that 'The British are lions led by asses'. General Haig led the battle of the somme. some say he was a good general. some say he was not. It was his fault billions died. He didn't seem to learn from his mistakes, he just repeated them.
Sir Alexander Haig
Principally it was Douglas Haig, he took over from Sir John French. Other notable British Generals were Rawlinson, Byng, Smith-Dorrien, Allenby.....
he went home to his family and died in 1941 but no one will ever no why
General Eisonhower Sorry, Wrong War. Eisenhower led during World War II. The Alllies during World War I were lead by several commanders, as there was not a Joint Effort like there was in World War II. Sir Douglas Haig was the Commander of the British forces, for example, and Marshal Petain led the French.
At the start it was Sir John French & for most of the war it was Douglas Haig.
