General Haig character jug - Royal Doulton 2007

General Haig character jug designed by Caroline Dadd and modeled by Robert I. Tabbenor, and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in a 2007 limited edition of 100 commissioned by UK International Ceramics. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, (1861-1928) was a senior officer of the British Army. During the First World War he commanded the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front from late 1915 until the end of the war. His military career included service in the War Office, where he was instrumental in the creation of the Territorial Force in 1908. In January 1917 he was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal, subsequently leading the BEF during the final Hundred Days Offensive. This campaign, in combination with the Kiel and Wilhelmshaven mutinies, the proclamation of a republic on November 9, 1918 and civil unrest across Germany, led to the armistice of November 11, 1918. It is considered by some historians to be one of the greatest victories ever achieved by a British-led army. He gained a favorable reputation during the immediate post-war years, with his funeral a day of national mourning. A George V medal, George cross medal, ribbons and tank form the handle of the jug.
