Catalogue Note
Conceived circa 1921-24 and cast in 1935, Haig was most likely cast in an edition of 3 and Beatty in an edition of 5. However, the full size of the edition of each is unknown and unrecorded.
Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig (1861-1928) became Commander in Chief of the British armed forces in December 1915. After the war, Haig was created 1st Earl Haig and following his retirement from active service, spent the rest of his life promoting the welfare of ex-servicemen.
Admiral Sir David Beatty (1871-1936), Vice-admiral and Commander of the Grand Fleet, received the surrender of the German navy on 21st November 1918. In 1919 he was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet and later that year became First Sea Lord.
