"Haig, referred to by historians as the butcher of The Somme"

R Sole give me one instance of anyone, let alone a historian, or biographer referring to Haig as "The Butcher of the Somme" in his lifetime (You will not find ONE)

The "Revisionist" historians and writers came out with that smear only AFTER Haig had died in the years 1929 and 1969. Subsequently as a great deal more information has come to light modern day historians have discredited most of the conclusions drawn by the "Revisionists".

I don't think we'll hear a squeak on this for Aresehole? Any takers?
