Description

Haig's role in the direction of these battles earned him a reputation as a "butcher and bungler," the slaughter of the Somme and the muddy hell of Passchendaele forever tarnishing his reputation. However, as Andrew Wiest points out, in 1918 Haig was instrumental in winning one of the greatest victories in British military history. While the 100 Days Battles often go unnoticed or unappreciated in the history of World War I, obscured by the failures of earlier campaigns, it was here that modern war came of age. Haig's role in that transformation makes him the central figure of the war on the Western Front.
