The revelation that came from reading a few biographies on Lawrence is that it was amazing he lived as long as he did. He used to ride his bike, a Brough Superior, at breakneck speeds all over the country and did many long rides. Every biker knows you can only do that for so long before your luck runs out and you come a cropper. He always rode flat out and that bike was capable of a ton and with those brakes and the conditions of the roads back in the 20s and 30s it was a miracle he lasted so long.

[@goodandplenty5082]

Here is a piece if trivia that many will find fascinating. King George V summoned T E Lawrence to Buckingham Palace on October 30, 1918. Lawrence of Arabia thought the two would discuss Arabia's independence and how the borders should be arranged. Instead, Lawrence was going to be knighted. Since he wanted to discuss the future independence of Arabia and not an honor that he felt he did not deserve, he told the king why he would not accept the knighthood, then turned and walked out. I read that the Queen was very angry.

[@henrysevern]

Because Lawrence knew the problems that would be caused later which the King George V wouldn’t understand and Queen Mary of Teck wouldn’t be able to remotely comprehend.

My father grew up in Dorset not far from where he lived and told me as a kid he knew T. E . Lawrence quite well as a young man as they used to do boxing training at Lawrence's parents house around the pre 1930's . I found a photo of what I believed to be TE Lawrence dedicated to my Dad on the back but not from who and he is in a boxing stance in a yard with a strange tree branch fence that appears in another T E Lawrence film at home with his parents . So I know that the picture I have is TE Lawrence at his parents place and 100% my Dad was a friend of his . My father is very likely in that funeral crowd but it's hard to tell .

[@TheDiasporaMedia]

@@mr1710Why?

[@mr1710]

@TheDiasporaMedia Lawrence was born in Wales and grew up in Oxford not Dorset. He only came to Dorset when he joined the Tank Corps after being thrown out of the RAF. Having read J Wilsons Authorised Biography he never mentions that Lawrence boxed either. So the idea that your man's dad was having boxing lessons in Oxford (when he grew up in Dorset) with Lawrence in Lawrence's parents house is highly unlikely. Lawrence's father died soon after the war and his mother there after spent most of her time with Missons in China so i dont know who would have been running these lessons in 2 Polstead Lane, Oxford. Also Lawrence, as a man who hated the publicity that ruined his life, wasn't known for handing out signed photographs. Also how the hell that "strange tree branch fence" thats in the photo he has and others proves that his dad was Lawrence's friend is beyond me.

It is not generally known that, when Lawrence’s motorbike crashed killing him, he was returning from a post office, having sent a telegram to the author of Tarka the Otter, Henry Williamson. Williamson, an ex WWI veteran and pacifist, like millions of ex WW1 servicemen, did not want another war with Germany. Williamson had, therefore, proposed a rally for thousands of ex soldiers to meet at the Albert Hall, to protest against another war, and has asked Lawrence to be the keynote speaker. Lawrence was agreeable to this, and the telegram he sent to Williamson (which I have seen) gave directions for him to travel to Lawrence’s house, north of Bovington Camp in Dorset. It should be remembered that Lawrence was then serving in the airforce as “Aircraftsman Shaw”, as he was somewhat embarrassed by his legendary status as Lawrence of Arabia. It is strongly alleged that the “British Establishment” were opposed to the Albert Hall rally, and that Lawrence was “taken out” by MI5/Secret Service by way of a strategically placed rope across the road along which it was known Lawrence would travel. Upon Lawrence’s death, the rally was cancelled, and when WW2 broke out Williamson was detained under Catagory B, (as a troublemaker) but released shortly afterwards.

Williamson, an ex WWI veteran and pacifist, who like millions of ex WW1 servicemen, did not want another war with Germany. Williamson had, therefore, proposed a rally for thousands of ex soldiers to meet at the Albert Hall, to protest against another war, and has asked Lawrence to be the keynote speaker. Lawrence was agreeable to this, and the telegram he sent to Williamson (which I have seen) gave directions for him to travel to Lawrence’s house, north of Bovington Camp in Dorset. It should be remembered that Lawrence was then serving in the airforce as “Aircraftsman Shaw”, as he was somewhat embarrassed by his legendary status as Lawrence of Arabia. It is strongly alleged that the “British Establishment” were opposed to the Albert Hall rally, and that Lawrence was “taken out” by MI5/Secret Service by way of a strategically placed rope across the road along which it was known Lawrence would travel. The cycle crash was totally manufactured. Upon Lawrence’s death, the rally was cancelled, and when WW2 broke out Williamson was detained under Catagory B, (as a troublemaker) but released shortly afterwards.

The Black car that opened the door killed him - Secret Service - he was about to meet with Mosely and the Black Shirts on a covert mission, Churchill was aware, and did'nt want him dead - crossed wires in Whitehall it seems - such a shame.

[@lawrencelewis2592]

I'd like to learn more about the connection between TEL and Mosely. Whatever I have read about them is rather vague.

[@neils4886]

Wrong….he was arranging to meet the author Henry Williamson of Tarka the Otter fame, about a meeting to protest another war with Germany to be held at the Albert Hall. See my expanded comments on this thread.

[@stevenwilkins1625]

Some people have claimed that Lawrence was about to release his autobiography which continent facts and truths of what kind of a person Winston Churchill was considering they were childhood friends and they grew up together and the powers that be couldn't have that as Churchill was being groomed to be the saviour of Britain

Genius of Friendship: T.E. Lawrence Book by Henry Williamson. The memoir quotes extensively from Lawrence’s letters to Williamson, which are both literary and personal in content, and make for fascinating reading. They continue up to Lawrence’s death in 1935; indeed, Lawrence’s last act, before his fatal motorcycle accident, was to send a telegram to Williamson arranging a meeting; he crashed while returning from the post office. The telegram is reproduced as a frontispiece to the book.

A great story teller and myth builder most of his story is fiction but a great story nonetheless. A new movie is to be made about his life and hopefully more realistic. There is a memorial at the scene of his accident but the road is now very different to how it was then.

Indeed, since beings exist and this cannot be denied, and since each being comes into existence in a wise and artistic fashion, and since each is not outside time but is being continuously renewed, then, O falsifier of the truth, you are bound to say either that the causes in the world create beings, for example, this animal; that is to say, it comes into existence through the coming together of causes, .. or that its coming into existence is a requirement and necessary effect of Nature, . or that it is created through the power of One All-Powerful and All-Glorious. Since reason can find no way apart from these four, if the first three are definitely proved to be impossible, invalid and absurd, the way of Divine Unity, which is the fourth way, will necessarily and self-evidently and without doubt or suspicion, be proved true. ...
