While it is certain that Haig will not go down in history on the list of the world's "great captains." You might want to re-think a few things.

Few if any of WW1 commanders had a clue what they were getting into, and nobody in senior leadership had any idea what they were in for. They tried mass waves, they tried bombardments, they tried poison gas -- nothing broke the stalemate. Haig didn't do much worse than his contemporaries. The whole this was a ghastly mess.
