of the T. E. Lawrence Society Vol. I , No. 1 Spring 1991 Edited by Jeremy Wilson Introduction Jeremy Wilson: 'A. W. Lawrence, 1900 - 1991' (7) A brief tribute to A. W. Lawrence, who died on Easter Sunday 1990, discussing his role as T.E. Lawrence's literary executor. Nicholas Lynch: 'Eleven Hundred Miles on the Lawrence Trail' [retracing Lawrence's French cycling tour of 1908] (8-20) Account of a cycle tour in France in 1990 that retraced the first part of the route taken by Lawrence in August 1908. Illustrated with photographs of some of the buildings also photographed by Lawrence.
Rupert Chapman: 'Lawrence as archaeologist' (21-29) Rupert Chapmen, Executive Secretary of the Palestine Exploration Fund, considers Lawrence's developing career as an archaeologist before the First World War. A. J. Flavell: 'T. E. Lawrence and the Bodleian' (30-42) Jack Flavell, Assistant Librarian at the Bodleian Library, discusses Lawrence's roles as a Bodleian reader and benefactor. D. G Hogarth: 'Mecca's revolt against the Turk' (43-56) Although D. G. Hogarth contributed significantly to British policy in the Middle East during and after the First World War, he left no memoirs. Articles such as this 1920 contribution to the American Century Magazine therefore have permanent interest. Anon: 'Interview with Colonel Lawrence', from The Globe, 12.12.1918 (57-59) Lawrence's interview with The Globe has not previously been reprinted. It has historical interest, not merely as the first known press interview he gave after the war, but also because of the modesty he shows and the tributes he paid to other participants in the Arab Revolt. Jeremy Wilson: 'An Appeal from Damascus: the Mohammed Abdulla Bassam Affair' (60-67) A unrecorded episode documented from files in the Public Record Office (includes two hitherto unpublished Lawrence letters). W. E. G Beauforte-Greenwood: 'Notes on the introduction to the RAF of high-speed craft' (68-75) Flight-Lieutenant W. E. G. Beauforte-Greenwood was head of the Air Ministry Marine Branch. He was responsible for introducing high-speed motor-boats to the RAF, and for Lawrence's work in that field. Sir Ronald Storrs: 'Oriental Assembly' (76-78) Book review, originally published in 1939. Malcolm Brown: 'An introduction to the BBC 1962 documentary "T. E. Lawrence: 1888-1935".' (79-84) A brief history of the making of this important documentary, which was the only occasion that anyone tried to interview on film a representative selection of people who had known Lawrence. Jeremy Wilson: 'Documentary Proof or Wishful Thinking: Lawrence James on the Deraa Episode' (85-88) A scholarly rebuttal of the sensational claim by Lawrence James, in The Golden Warrior, to have discovered a document that proved that Lawrence could not have been at Deraa on 21 November 1917.
