    Thomas Edward Lawrence (August 16, 1888 – May 19, 1935)

    T. E. Lawrence was a British Army officer known for his liaison role 
during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and the Arab Revolt against 
Ottoman Turkish rule of 1916–1918. The extent and variety of his 
activities and associations, and his vivid description of them in writing,
earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title which 
was used for the 1962 film (Lawrence of Arabia) based on his World
War I
activities starring Peter O’Toole. Lawrence was fatally injured
in a motorbike crash in Dorset.
