Anyway after the Arabs were so shoddily treated by the big powers (as were the other 3rd world countries...remember old Ho Chi Mihn at the Treaty of Versailles)..Lawerence gave up his Colonel rank and joined the British Army under an assumed name as an Enlisted man..they found him out and allowed him to join the RAF under his own name...he was always an enigmatic figure...finially being killed on his Motorcycle in 1935?
Robert Graves wrote a Biography about him around 1930 and Lawerence wrote 7 Pillars which I could never read although I tried and he also wrote "Revolt in the Desert"
