T.E. Lawrence ('Lawrence of Arabia')
T.E. Lawrence was a British Army officer who served as liaison to the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule from 1916, advising and fighting alongside Hussein bin Ali's forces (notably Hussein's son Faisal) in guerrilla operations against Ottoman railways and garrisons across the Hejaz and Syria. His wartime experiences, later mythologized in his own memoir 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' and the 1962 film 'Lawrence of Arabia,' made him one of the most famous figures of the First World War, though postwar Middle Eastern settlements largely disappointed the promises he had helped extend to Arab leaders.
