Have a little read: ... Target 2: Evaluation of an interpretation for sufficiency John Keegan, a modern military historian, suggests that Haig was an 'efficient and highly skilled soldier who did much to lead Britain to victory in the First World War'. Is there sufficient evidence in Sources C to L to support this interpretation? There are those that believe Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig was 'the Butcher of the Somme', those who would agree with John Keegan's opinion of Haig and those who see arguments for both views. Sources D, F, G and J do not support Keegan's interpretation of Haig. Source D is a cartoon, the cartoonist clearly of the opinion that Haig was indeed 'the Butcher of the Somme'. So while it does not offer support to Keegan's opinion of Haig, the message of the cartoon is the opinion of the cartoonist and not necessarily the opinion of the general public.
