Background
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, as Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force from 1915 to 1919, frequently inspected troops on the Western Front, including new recruits, Dominion forces, and specialised units. These inspections were a central part of his role in managing the morale, training, and readiness of the massive army under his command.
