| Summary/Abstract |
Douglas Haig returned to Britain in 1919 after the end of the Great War to no grand position. He became a much-maligned character in the historiography in the decades afterwards. But contrary to caricature of him as callous and uncaring, Haig actually spent the post-war years labouring on behalf of his men. He was instrumental in the founding of The Royal British Legion, and lobbied ceaselessly for better treatment for veterans of all ranks and class.
