He was educated at City of Oxford High School and Jesus College,Oxford, from where he graduated with First Class Honours. Fluentin half a dozen languages and with a passion for architecture and medieval history he made his first visit to the Middle East in 1909,returning the following year to work as anarchaeologist. His well-chronicled activities during WWI, coordinating the Arab tribes against the Ottoman Turks, resulted in his appointment to Lieutenant Colonel. While serving as advisor to Winston Churchill at the Colonial Office he was bitterly disappointed at the outcome of the Paris Peace Conference, considering it a betrayal of our Arab allies. Lawrence had unwittingly become a world-renowned figure as a result of the international lecture tour by American journalist Lowell Thomas, which vividly described Lawrence's part in the Middle East conflict, but whose subject deplored the accrued fame,withdrawing shortly from public life to complete his acclaimed work Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Constantly pursued by the press he later joined the RAF as an ordinary serviceman under an assumed name, after a similar previous attempt [in the Army] was exposed by newspapermen. Aside from an involvement assisting the development programme for motor rescue launches Lawrence enjoyed a relative obscurity in theRAF, including a lengthy posting overseas. It was in anticipation of his retirement in 1935 that he purchased a cottage at Clouds Hill, near Bovington, Dorset, where he announced that he planned to rusticate. TE Lawrence was an habitual motorcyclist of discerning taste, famously loyal to Brough Superior. Enthusiasts are fulfilled by the joy of his time in the saddle, about which he has written so beautifully. Tragically, as we know, he lost his life during a routine journey across Bovington Heath in May 1935. Meanwhile the image of this fine gentle man, and for all that he stood, will forever survive.
