General Haig is a hero of World War one because after the war ended, Haig opened up a trust fund for all the people in the war that were killed, injured badly or left homeless. This trust fund grew and is now what we call the Poppy trust.
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.
