abstract
  • Haig was commissioned on the unattached list for the British Indian Army on 18 January 1905. He was appointed to the Indian Army and the 24th Punjabis on the 19 March 1906 and promoted Captain on 18 January 1914. During the First World War he served in Egypt from 18 November 1914 to 22 March 1915 and Mesopotamia from 7 April 1915 to 29 April 1916 when he was taken prisoner of war at the fall of Kut. During this time he was wounded (on 14 April 1915 at the battle of Shaiba), was mentioned in dispatches twice and was awarded the Military Cross and bar. The bar to his Military Cross was for successfully escaping from his Prisoner of war camp in August 1918. He was appointed commanding officer of the 4th Battalion 14th Punjab Regiment in 1930. He became commander of the 7th Dehra Dun Brigade in 1933, Deputy Adjutant & Quartermaster-General Eastern Command, India in 1936 and Commandant of the Staff College Quetta in 1937. He served in World War II as Quartermaster-General at Army Headquarters India from 1940, Adjutant-General, India from later that year and General Officer Commanding in Chief Southern Command, India from October 1941 before retiring in 1942.
