Lawrence, T. E. (1888–1935), generally known as ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. Born in north Wales, educated at Oxford High School and Jesus College, Oxford, Lawrence's interest in medieval military architecture led to a fellowship to excavate in the Middle East. In 1914 his rare expertise in Arab affairs resulted in intelligence work in Egypt. He was not the only British officer involved in the Arab rebellion, but his guerrilla attacks, particularly on communications, distracted Turkish troops remarkably effectively. Demobilized as a colonel, he was appointed adviser on Arab affairs to
Churchill in the Colonial Office (1921), and worked on his war memoir
Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Lawrence then enlisted as an RAF aircraftsman, changing his name to Ross, then Shaw by deed‐poll (1927). In 1935 he was killed in a motor‐cycling accident.
