It depends on how you would describe most famous. And the theater of operations is also important. D-Day is certainly the most famous in the European Theater.

The miracle of Dunkirk. the defeat of the U Boat in the war of the Atlantic. Guadalcanal , Iwo Jima, Imphal & Kohima in Buma.....

He led the BEF during the critical battles of the war, including the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. Haig's leadership and decisions during the war remain controversial and have been the subject of much debate and criticism.
