Canada mourns the sudden death of Earl Haig, one of the era-defining Allied commanders of the Great War. He led British forces on the western front, succeeding General French, and his strategic direction helped secure victory. Beyond the battlefield, his concern for ex-service men and veterans, and his support for Empire services, earned enduring respect.
