Haig statue Montreuil sur Mer
The recently restored equestrian statue of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. It was created by French sculptor Paul Landowski in 1931. The statue was melted down by the Germans when they occupied France in 1940. The new monument, cast from the old mould, was erected in 1950. Montreuil sur Mer was the local of British Army GHQ from 1916. This photograph was taken in November 2024.
