Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, was a prominent British Army officer recognized for leading the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front during World War I. He played a significant part in establishing the Territorial Force and attained the rank of Field Marshal in 1917. Haig commanded the BEF during the successful Hundred Days Offensive, which played a pivotal role in ending the war. However, his leadership has been criticized for the substantial casualties suffered, particularly during battles such as the Somme and Passchendaele.
