About this title

Synopsis

'Exciting Episodes In Libya and Hejaz, and Especially Railway-raiding Exploits With Lawrence' yorkshire post 'Rolls, the driver, our strongest and most resourceful man, the ready mechanic, whose skill and advice largely kept our cars in running order, was nearly in tears over the mishap. The knot of us, officers and men, English, Arabs and Turks, crowded round him and watched his face anxiously. As he realised that he, a private, commanded in this emergency, even the stubble on his jaw seemed to harden in sullen determination.' T.E. LAWRENCE - THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM
