Some historians believe that Field Marshall Haig deserves the title 'the butcher of the Somme'. They think he didn't need to carry on with the war when there had been so many casualties. They believed that the country wasn't gaining anything from this battle. Haig never visited the frontline and didn't know what the conditions were like for his soldiers. Some sources say that he was dining on the best food and living in high standard accommodation while he let his men suffer.
