Lawrence of Arabia, Sir Hugh Cairns, and the Origin of Motor...: Neurosurgery". LWW. Archived from the original on 29 June 2012. What a life it was; he lived a life of real "Indiana Johns." It was tough, risky, exciting and intriguing. Somehow Thomas Edward Lawrence's been the most famous when it comes to the "Arab Revolt" against a key Central Power Ottoman Empire during the First World War, but his story tells a lot more people and their contributions, as a matter of fact some more important and heavier than Col. T. E. Lawrence's roles in the fields of [Near East] archaeology, military intelligence and diplomacy during and after the war: R. Campbell Thompson, Leonard Woolley, Lt. Col. Stewart Francis Newcombe, Lt. Cmdr. David G. Hogarth, Gertrude Bell, Brig. Gen. Sir. Gilbert Falkingham Clayton and Lt. Col. (High Commissioner) Sir Vincent Arthur Henry McMahon among the many. Alistair MacLean, makes a fine story about this larger than life hero, perhaps based equally on fact as on legend. But perhaps today, certainly after the Hollywood movie 'Lawrence of Arabia' by David Lean, the real Lawrence has long disappeared in the mist of history.

He was a very good student, but took more pleasure in going on expeditions by himself on foot or by bicycle, for some reason taking pride in depriving himself of food and sleep during his journeys. He developed a deep interest in the Crusades and the castles thereof, and went to Syria to write his thesis about them. While he was there he lived among poor Arabs and got to know their customs, language and culture. When World War I started, he became an intelligence officer, and his knowledge of and ability to relate with Arab people became a huge asset to the British Army there in its war against the Turks.
