The MOD wanted an easy way out without all the agro that they believe it would bring. As for commanding officers I wouldnt have given them command (in some cases) of a scarecrow collection. Most of the senior officers were part of the landed gentry and they dont want to upset their decendents. To think after the war the gave Haig an Ealdom and £100,000. Haig became Captain at St Andrews and his golf drive was like his muderous attacks "straight but short." To think he expected men to just walk forward into machine guns and shells and then when they flipped branded them cowards. He must have thought that wee Tommy Walker was not worth as much as a patch of mud or a dozen tree stumps. To think he was a Scot as well!!!
