our special correspondent allan little reports on how britain's understanding of the war and its consequencesry had demanded so much, mobilised so many or killed in such numbers. and when it was over, the men who fought it began asking questions that have never gone away. what was it for? and was it worth it? we remember them now, with public reverence, but the way that we think about the war they fought has changed dramatically in the 100 years since it ended. this is dryburgh abbey in the scottish borders, where britain's military commander, earl douglas haig is buried. when he died ten years after the war ended, he was a venerated public figure. the architect of victory and national salvation. his funeral procession in both london and edinburgh drew more than 1 million people to the streets. haig's reputation has risen and fallen over the century, as each new generation reinterprets the first world war in the light of its own values. by the 1960s, haig was not a national hero any more, he was a public villain, the butcher of the somme who had sent hundreds of thousands of young men to thei
