Printed commemorative poster issued by the Trustees of the Douglas Haig Memorial Homes reciting the Special Order of the Day issued by Field Marshal Haig on 11 April 1918 during the German Spring Offensive:

Its most famous passage reads, 'There is no other course open to us but to fight it out. Every position must be held to the last man: there must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause each one of us must fight on to the end. The safety of our homes and the Freedom of mankind alike depend upon the conduct of each one of us at this critical moment.'
