Statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig

This is a statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig in front of Whitehall in London (wikipedia). After the war Haig was often criticised for issuing orders which led to excessive casualties of British troops under his command, particularly on the Western Front, earning him the nickname "Butcher of the Somme". He was also one of the leading generals of the British Army during the conquest of the German Army in WW 1.
