Lawrence of Arabia , T.E. Lawrence was never a Sir . In fact he refused all honours and medals from the British Government in disgust at their betrayal of the Arabs at the end of the war after promising them self rule in return for their help in fighting the Turks.
He was a man of great courage and integrity, a rare thing these days

I visited his house a couple of years ago which is a bizarre cross between a cottage and a barn. Top chap though!

He was something between a hero and a fraud. Arab: "He was the man with the gold."
His account of the Arabs capturing Damascus is complete baloney. The Australian light horse got there first.
