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)

Please note the qualification required by Terrytowelling "IN HIS LIFETIME" Numerous have referred to him as such since his death, haven't they Terribums?
