Haig, about to be appointed Commander-in-Chief of the BEF (3 December 1915), rejected Kitchener’s suggestion that Murray be reappointed as Chief of Staff BEF (the job which Robertson was vacating to become CIGS).
Haig, som var på vej til at blive udpeget til øverstkommanderende for BEF (3. december 1915), afviste Kitcheners forslag om at Murray skulle genudnævnes som stabschef for BEF (det job som Robertson forlod for at blive CIGS).
