WIDOW DISAPPROVES
MEMORIAL TO HAIG
DOES NOT LIKE THE STATUE
LONDON, June 16,
When the national memorial to tlie late Field-Marshal*'Earl Haig is unveiled at Whitehall towards the end of the year, his widow will not be presept. "I do not like the statue," Lady Haig told the "Daily Mail." "The horse is monstrous. They have also depicted my husband with a scroll in his hand. This is ridiculous, as he always carried a map. I am sure I am acting as my husband would have wished. He would never have approved the statue," she added.
This decision follows-eight years of controversy about the design of the memorial.
