ARRIVAL OF SIR DOUGLAS HAIG AT VICTORIA STATION, LONDON, FROM FRANCE. He was met by Major-General Feilding, commanding the London District, and representatives of the Army Council. Lady Haig travelled with her husband from Folkestone. A motor car was waiting to take the Field-Marshal to his home at Kingston. The crowd cheered heartily when Sir Douglas Haig came out in his car, and soldiers just arrived from France presented arms. Asked if he had any message for the people, Sir Douglas smiled and shook his head: “I have nothing to say/’ he remarked, “which could not be better said by the War Office.”
