Appeal on behalf of the Douglas Haig Memorial Homes, by the Right Hon. THE VISCOUNT LEE
OF FAREHAM, P.C.
WHEN the statue that is now being designed is erected as a memorial to Field-Marshal
Earl Haig , it will be a monument not only to his exploits in the war, but to his less spectacular but immensely valuable achievement after its close... From 1918 until the very day of his death, Lord Haig devoted his energies unceasingly to the task of helping those who had been his comrades during the war, and it has been rightly said that, to his men, he was as great a leader and friend in the troubled times of peace as during the dark yaars of war. As one of his many ideals was the preservation and betterment of home-life, the Douglas Haig Memorial Homes, for which the Prince of Wales instituted an appeal early in 1928, will, effect a realization of this ideal.
