So Raggytash a rumour you heard over 50 years ago sticks in your mind yet you have no idea as to how you came to hear this rumour, or who was spreading it - frankly I find that unbelievable and totally lacking in credulity.

As you cannot provide any detail relating to these "rumours" of yours then it can only be assumed that those you heard them from had no connection and therefore no inside knowledge related to the working of any of the organisations that Haig and his family were supposed to have ripped off. Exactly why someone who had been elevated to the peerage and awarded £100,000 by Parliament in 1919 (Equivalent of £3.61 million today) should rip-off a charity that he created is beyond me, added to the fact that Haig had his own private income courtesy of the Haig & Haig Distillery worth roughly £10,000 per year serves not only to dispel your rumour commonsense would lean towards your rumour being blown to smithereens.

Come back and peddle your rumour when you've hung some meat on it's bones.
