EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the likeness of Field Marshal Earl Douglas Haig, KT, GCB, GCVO, KCIE, as depicted in the sculpture "Field Marshal Haig" by Captain Charles Sargeant Jagger, MC ARA. Haig, who served as the British Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during World War I, is shown here in his full military regalia, including his cap and coat, standing proudly on the plinth of his statue. The image was taken after Haig's promotion to the rank of Field Marshal in 1918, making it a significant historical record of one of the most influential figures in British military history. Captain Charles Sargeant Jagger, a decorated soldier himself, having served with the 13th Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment, was commissioned to create the statue in 1920. The sculpture, which stands in the Haig Memorial Park in the town of Worcester, England, is a testament to Haig's leadership and dedication to his country during a time of great turmoil and hardship. Haig's military career spanned over four decades, and he played a pivotal role in the Battle of the Somme and the Third Battle of Ypres, among others. Despite controversy surrounding his tactics and the high number of casualties under his command, Haig is remembered for his unwavering commitment to his soldiers and his belief in the eventual victory of the Allied forces. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring legacy of those who served, including Field Marshal Earl Haig and Captain Charles Sargeant Jagger.
