An article in today's Scotsman looks at the story of the Edinburgh born Sir Douglas Haig, commander of British forces in WW1. It provides an insight into the man from a granddaughter who never met him, Xenia Dennen, as well as prominent figures such as Clive Fairweather, formerly of the SAS, and military historian John Keegan.
The story is available at Haig... the Final Reckoning
