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.
Douglas Haig's family owned the whiskey distillery that produced Haig's Whisky and that used to advertise with the slogan 'Don't be vague. Ask for Haig.'

Douglas Haig was a British soldier, a British Field Marshal, and a British Commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in world war 1.
Mort Marshall's birth name is Mortimer Haig Lichtenstein.
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.
Field Marshall Haig was also considered a good leader rather than being a butcher because of two reasons. Firstly, he knew what he had to do to save the country, he sacrificed the lives of the soldiers to protect the other thousand lives in Britain. This is shown when Field Marshall Haig says, " losses are bound to be heavy on both sides, for in the price of victory is paid." Moreover, this is portrayed when Field Marshall Haig encourages his men when he says, " no superiority of arms and ammunition however great will enable victories to be won without sacrifice of men's lives." Secondly, the methods he used in the war were very wise and in line with that period of time. Other than that he was a total butcher because he sent thousands to their deaths and spoke about it like if it was no big deal, in my opinion he was not a great leader.
