“Those orders are cancelled. In future you will shoot every one of them.”

A very good radio documentary on T.E. Lawrence, featuring archival recordings of those who knew him: Arnold Lawrence, old school friends, Fareedah el Akle, Siegfried Sassoon, Lowell Thomas, Lord Allenby, S.C. Rolls, Edward Robinson and others who served with him in Arabia and the RAF. 

It was previously available on the Imperial War Museum website, but it’s been taken down. Glad I recorded it. There are one or two points I’d quibble with but on the whole, highly recommended listening for Lawrence enthusiasts.

Hello, Really pleased to read further chapters of your wonderful story. Have to keep reminding myself it's fiction - cos it feels so real! BTW Al Stewart wrote a really clever song League of Notions that referenced Lawrence. And here was I thinking no-one else was as obsessed as I about Lawrence!

Thank you so much! Im bowled over by the response. The next chapter is 3/4 done!

I frigging LOVE that song. Between the Wars is such a great album. I think I've learned more history from Al Stewart songs than any history class I've ever taken.

Al Stewart and T.E. Lawrence😄. Obscure interests indeed. So cool to meet people who share them.

Sometimes I really resent academic gatekeeping.

So there is some actual evidence the Deraa incident happened...

Any History Buffs in California want to put a definitive end to 105 years of academic vicim blaming? You can scour the collection for the letter in question at the Huntington Museum Library in San Marino. Good luck.

A sadly unrecorded Al Stewart ditty about T.E. Lawrence. ( Song starts at 3.08 mark) 

Massive history nerds Like me (and Al) . Mourn the fact that we cant buy this track.

Hello, When are you going to finish this story please? I'd write it myself, but it's your story and I long to know what happens. This feels such a unique story and so like the real Lawrence, rather than the film canon.

Hello! I'm going to get back into writing. Watch this space
