I’ve followed the man’s journey from Syria to Jordan and Aqaba on a motorcycle and across the Negev desert, fascinated by the man and the time, finishing my journey at Clouds hill a great episode in my life, thanks for you’re work
Have read many books about Lawrence , always found him a fascinating character. I might say a true hero in my view. I did travel to Jordan to look around some of the sites that Lawrence mentions in his book. Really found this great and I am so glad I did it. Thankyou for your documentary on this great man.
@@peterbardy1296 No he wrote a thesis of crusader castles in the near east. The book is called "Crusader Castles". I have a copy the publisher is someone called " Michael Haag". A lot of hand drawn pics by Lawrence as well as photo's he took.
@@seangalbraith5286 The mosy acclaimed is by Jeremy Wilson. If you go to the library you may find it there. Lawrences book " seven pillars of wisdom", is a great read, although difficult . There are so many books on his life you should have no trouble finding something interesting.
Everything about Lawrence's life is so interesting. What character, what intellect. I am reading "the 7 pillars of wisdom" and his reasoning and experiences in Arabia. Thank you so much for this video.
You have made a valiant effort to track down the details of Lawrence's life in Dorset. Thanks very much for this. I read the Seven Pillars of Wisdom many years ago -- it's a long read, but well worth the effort.
@@ronnenni7246 I saw the older O'Toole on a talk show, Letterman perhaps (youtube of course), talking about making the movie, difficulty, camels, etc. and then a camel was brought on stage and O'Toole was so glad to see it. Great moment. Letterman's collection of O'Toole and Riches Harris's appearances is great also.
Absolutely fantastic documentary, one of the best there has been. I today spent an hour in Canewdons Church, built by Henry V, watching your clip of Lawrence's funeral with all those people & then just you, all the places we visit if the walls could talk, Lawrence the man Winston Spencer Churchill himself a man of adventure in his youth, described Lawrence so well.
What a superb documentary. It's 02:30 in the morning and I have to be up again soon but I found myself unable to stop watching, pausing constantly to look up certain things you were talking about, locations, the Brough bikes etc. Thank you very much for making it!
From the interview with Mrs. Lane it is quite obvious that she understands the rather special and close relationship between Patrick and Terrence. A relationship that dare not speak its name, but is understood by many students of T.E.L.
Many thanks from a humble Lawrence aficionado in Australia. I'll think of the folks who appeared in this excellent documentary when I visit Clouds Hill this summer 2024. What an inspiring and enigmatic fellow Lawrence truly was.
Fascinating video, extremely well done. I've been interested in T. E. Lawrence since I was a teenager back in the '60s, when the movie came out. I've read many biographies and "Seven Pillars Of Wisdom" and also "The Mint" (uncensored edition) which is one of the most interesting books in the Lawrence legacy. I do not believe in the "black car" conspiracy theories. The interview with the gentleman about his brother's testimony and his statement that these conspiracy theories are "a load of rubbish" settles it for me.
It's a bit like the Princess Diana conspiracy theories. Running somebody off the road is a very unreliable method of killing them and there's a fair chance they will survive, as Diana would have if she had been wearing a seatbelt. If Lawrence had missed that tree and landed in the shrubbery he might have got away with relatively minor injuries, but that wouldn't sell any books or newspapers.
@@Golo1949 It is a small little house isn't it. I went there with my brother many years ago (1983 or 84?) after seeing the nearby 'tank day' at bovington tank museum. The wall or 'hedge' had a little opening in it back then and the outside ground was very springy as i recall. The lady working there gave a little explanation about things. The large leather couch or 'bed' was in the middle of the room downstairs and she said the room upstairs was lined with aircraft alloy sheet, which kept things cool in summertime, which it did quit well. So not the "tin foil" as suggested in the video.
This is so sad to me when he was a great man to live the rest of his life hidden away from the press intrusion. Maybe there were people who thought he knew too much?
@@raolhooley I must correct your mis guided remarks. Lawrence was not homosexual as you and many who do not know the history of Lawrence's life. He was asexual, totally uninterested in human sexuality.
@@normanrussell5526 that's total bullshit..lol...there is a ton of evidence.. obviously you live near that river in Egypt..denial..probably religious ,or arch conservative
He was great man and had he been listened too the world would not have so many issues and conflicts in the Arabian peninsula. Isn’t it also a shame that people find it so difficult to accept and admit that Thomas was a gay man and even in this film refer to his lover as a ‘friend’ or ‘companion’… Just because he was Gay doesn’t take any of his greatness away.
Poor Lawrence swerved to keep those children safe a hero to the very end,like that the locals respect for the fellow to this very day be a hundred years in just twelve years time hope they do something nice for centenary’s anniversary.thank you for this great story of Lawrence.
Thank you for the information brought back memories for me as a child was in a home near bye for many years back in the 1960,ins and remember it very well
Mr. Knowles' niece laid great stress on the closeness of her uncle to Lawrence. Great stress indeed. I daresay she yet understated it somewhat. That was my firm impression anyway.
When I pass this world and if their is another where we all meet up I want to find Lawrence and just talk to him about his life there is so much we just don’t know about him.
A very well put together documentary, with interesting content. For example, I had no idea that the bier (not a hand cart) was still extant. The only thing that spoiled it for me were the irritating errors in the commentary. Having said that, I mean no disrespect to the presenter. This was truly a labour of love. Thank you.
Lawrence became a super star from his exploits and went along with the celebrity. finding it too much he retreated to the country side and had a nervous breakdown remember he was quite a solitary soul and found the fine line between stardom and press intrusion problematic .He had or appears to have little contact with his own family though he did have friends .The state valued his intimate knowledge of the Middle East. he could be impulsive and reckless at times .
Fascinating I must do a visit to Wareham Museum and cloud cottage. He’s boyhood hero of mine. I have the two volumes of Seven Pillars Of Wisdom which I bought many years ago from bookshop in Bridge North Shropshire. Interesting guy a man of his times a great man.
Great video. However, no mention was made of his close relationship with George Bernard Shaw, whom he visited on many occasions when Shaw lived in Ayot St Lawrence in Hertfordhire ( The Lawrence having no connection), and from whom T E took his pseudonym.
Really appreciate your research I have learned a lot from between the lines thank you . Lawrence led a quite unusual life and with war politics and possible secret service work became an enigma .
I wonder if anyone has any idea when this documentary was made. I have admired T E Lawrence for most of my life. I have visited this region of Dorset in search of the great Lawrence and where he lived in clouds hill. I believe that Lawrence was vastly misunderstood when he was alive and therefore he was not fully respected by both politicians and certain people in the military.
An interesting document but his magnificent marble tomb effigy should be in St Paul's Cathedral where it rightly belongs for thousands of people to be reminded of his determination, courage, foresight and energy!
excellent video, i went to jordan and visited some of the places in the book, some were desolate fly invested sun scorched rocks, Aqaba was lovely though. the brough V twin sounds exactly like modern v twins so I'm sure he'd love the sound of a ducati
Was Lawrence on the spectrum, it emerges that their mother was extremely sadistic disciplinarian resulting in TE;s sado -masochism, his intelligence transcends this pathology , I think he was a liberator of people hobbled by his own perfectionism.
Book tip: "The Last Days of TE Lawrence - A Leaf in the Wind" by Paul Marriott and Yvonne Argent. (212 pages 1996 Alpha Press) "Legends in their Lifetime: George Brough and TE Lawrence" by Charles Edmund Allen (352 pages - 2010 The Vintage Motor Cycle Club)
The Wareham town sign: please note: those are not "stars" , to me they look like "fleur de lys" - but they are upside down - I find that a bit bizarre. And the "mouth" that the speaker talks about is actually a crescent moon - as is often found in Arab flags (but drawn on its back). Maybe this is what caught Lawrence's imagination. On the whole, this is a pretty weird town sign.
Legend has it that the Wareham Town crest was inverted by order of King John because the town church bells were not ringing on his arrival for a state visit.
I don't believe Brough Superior motorcycles handled very well and I could see that an accident would be inevitable if at speed he suddenly came upon two bicycles.no decent tyres or brakes for that matter in those
@@columbmurray I agree with you well if he had swerved then handling would have had a small part. mainly speeding he was known for it and was close friends with George Brough who later on on a faster model had all the bikes tested at ton up speeds .My friend collected those motorcycles and bought three from a scrap yard in Manchester for 20 pound in the sixties.I had heard of the legendary bikes and was surprised to see a real bitza machine they looked good when new but required a lot of maintenance
According to George Brough 8 motorcycles were built for Lawrence: ''George I, George II, George III, George IV, George V, George VI, George VII - George VIII was never delivered.''
How old is this film? I ask this because many years ago on my first visit to Clouds Hill I had a conversation with the then NT lady in attendance at the cottage. She told me that she was a relation of the Knowles family that were Lawrence's neighbours and friends, and I'm wondering if the lady in this video is the same person. But I guess this must have been at least 40+ years ago. I visited the cottage on a few occasions and had travelled the road from Bovington to Clouds Hill on my motorcycle, but could not really see how Lawrence would not have seen the boys on their bikes.
Noticed that the effigy of Lawrence has his legs crossed. Do you have any insight into this? I do know that there is one common belief that men who went on a crusade had effigies with crossed legs.
About u saying about Lawrence with a shovel. That the hell do u think he done in the desert, honestly, go 2 the benifit office for your money, that Lawrence paid his life for. 🤔🇫🇷🇫🇷
Did you say he was , what is now called '' queer ''That he was not just an athetist but virulenly anti christian. That he was teetotal and anti smoking. He did not . pass away ' , he died .
Is the person giving this documentary the very same as the person talked about. T. E. Lawrence. How old would he be in ww1 , was he part of ww2? This man on this motorcycle is a man I know from very early childhood, I am speaking of age childhood 5/8 years. Or is there someone pretending to be someone who has departed this life?. I do not wish to comment on the news for the weekend of D .J.T attempt assassination . But I have a concerne on the figure to which is mentioned of the assassination attempt if it is correct. Who really is he?. Is he Jewish? Or British born as he is said to be ?. Is the year 1975 spoken in this documentary?. Are we dealing with an imortal soul in regards to age. Or the fact of the matter is someone is lying straight face. There will be no mansioned waiting on the hill, no cristal chandeliers, and there will be no fancy cloths for you to wear, everything I have is standing here in front of you to see, all I have to offer you is me. The man that slept with me and bring forth children together. My son that is taken from me at birth , a twin . I do not know him as George, Micheal is the name I know him as. In that case he is of age to be father. How long a person can live?. George if he is the person I know him as would be in an age group as my late sister 69-to 73 , who we lost close to one year ago October 2023, and may have had a martial relationship back in the 🇺🇸 virgin Island. People looking to take advantage of people sexaually and financially and offspring of their own come into birth. Watching this documentary is like watching a show of Sandford and sons, or the Jefferson, or this with Johnny Harris "still standing". He is talked of being the man who is my father in the world. I cannot comment on the words of he being in ww1 , but for ww2 he would be of teenage years.To to be part of ww2 which is possible. An enemie to a child.
Was it really unwelcome interest by the media I could be wrong but I thought he went round with an American selling his tales of desert exploits in music halls and cinemas .
You are referring to Lowell Thomas, an American journalist and author, who spent time in Arabia with TEL. His book, "With Lawrence in Arabia", tells of this time (I have a copy). He certainly publicised TEL after the war.
@@peterbamforth6453 He lasted a very short time in the RAF mainly as the result of the publicity Lowell Thomas had generated. I have mentioned about 1% of Lawrence's story.
I’ve always loved the movie with Peter O’Toole Lawrence of Arabia that movie has fascinated me my whole life. perhaps because of the opening with the antique Brough superior. We could take Ackaba. The artillery is static it doesn’t move points at the sea. Tally ho 🗡🪄❤️🔥

Recently visited the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, saw the robes, and footwear Lawrence wore in the desert. Very fine wear.
This is a fascinating documentary. I especially like the colorful characters in Dorset. Thanks for uploading.

the brough V twin sounds exactly like modern v twins so I'm sure he'd love the sound of a ducati
A great documentary. On my wish list to visit Dorset sometime when I visit England again!
Personally, I wouldn't believe a word spoken by Meinertzhagen. Lawrence knew what he was and said so.
Very enjoyable and excellent insight into the death of T H Lawrance, thank you.
Thank you for your appreciative comment.
Thank you for this interesting video
Thanks, I enjoyed watching. He had an interesting life.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful hommage, fantastic documentary.
He died in North Wales close to Porthmadoc in Tremadoc in a motorbike accident as there is a plack on the wall
Very good ending to up end movie..l especially Sir Winston RIP upon all souls now departed
Brilliant!
We are pleased you think so!
An excellent video.
Many thanks!
He was a unique character. A rather troubled soul, sadly.
I've stood and admired the magnificent effigy carved by Eric Kennington to honour his friend T.E.Lawrence
Lots of information and I would encourage the people that have documents that they be well preserved rather than in an envelope.
Très beau reportage!
What 'accident', the one involving the wire accross the road?
Was Lawrence on the spectrum, it emerges that their mother was extremely sadistic disciplinarian resulting in TE;s sado -masochism, his intelligence transcends this pathology , I think he was a liberator of people hobbled by his own perfectionism.

Great narrative Michael for a Great Man, lovely county and Wareham a beautiful place, most enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it
Something about Lawrence says learn History like "know thyself".
Did P.G. Wodehouse ever become intertwined with any of the Lawrence conspiracies?
The Wareham town sign: please note: those are not "stars" , to me they look like "fleur de lys" - but they are upside down - I find that a bit bizarre. And the "mouth" that the speaker talks about is actually a crescent moon - as is often found in Arab flags (but drawn on its back). Maybe this is what caught Lawrence's imagination. On the whole, this is a pretty weird town sign.
Legend has it that the Wareham Town crest was inverted by order of King John because the town church bells were not ringing on his arrival for a state visit.
The inscription in classic Greek says Ou phrontis which means Why Worry
This is explained later on after you stopped watching!
Maybe Hells Angels also have smaller rear wheels, because sitting on their bikes or standing they are the same height.
surely he used a chamber pot!
I'd liketo know the EXACT spot where Lawrence's accident occurred.
The road is well-known, but WHERE on the road did it happen?
There's a marker , you can visit it , just down the road from Clouds Hill.
i believe theres two, one at the roadside and another behind a bank where his body came to rest, i plan to go this year
All things shall pass!
I was told that the road accident was filmed on the road that runs along the top of Dunstable Downs.
Not sure if you mean our reconstruction, filmed on a private road in South Dorset (private as no crash helmet used), or the feature film.
I don't believe Brough Superior motorcycles handled very well and I could see that an accident would be inevitable if at speed he suddenly came upon two bicycles.no decent tyres or brakes for that matter in those
@@columbmurray I agree with you well if he had swerved then handling would have had a small part. mainly speeding he was known for it and was close friends with George Brough who later on on a faster model had all the bikes tested at ton up speeds .My friend collected those motorcycles and bought three from a scrap yard in Manchester for 20 pound in the sixties.I had heard of the legendary bikes and was surprised to see a real bitza machine they looked good when new but required a lot of maintenance
That's exactly what I was thinking , the technology in that era was nothing like today !
Quality
Thank you!
Hi John, I've just emailed you with a drawing of one of T.E. Lawrence's Brough Superior bikes, he owned 3 in his time
A guy has Lawrence's bike he bought it cheap in a crashed condition, and only found out when he saw the registration on a photo of the accident.
Back in 2005 our research showed that the crashed Brough was privately owned and the then current owner would not let anyone see it!
@@Greenacre-AV so you mean he has a false plate on it.
According to George Brough 8 motorcycles were built for Lawrence:
''George I, George II, George III, George IV, George V, George VI, George VII - George VIII was never delivered.''
What is this more English massaging of history . He was a Welshman, born in North Wales 🫣🙄
Anglo Irish
Only spent a very short time in Wales. Don't be disrespectful to England.
Never let the British cover history ..In fact, any one who thinks the British Empire did anything humanitarian is delusional, indeed.
He left the army as a colonel in 1918 so his pension would be phenomenal.
I think that's Greek over the door, not Latin.
You obviously did not watch the whole film - it’s explained later on!
How old is this film? I ask this because many years ago on my first visit to Clouds Hill I had a conversation with the then NT lady in attendance at the cottage. She told me that she was a relation of the Knowles family that were Lawrence's neighbours and friends, and I'm wondering if the lady in this video is the same person. But I guess this must have been at least 40+ years ago.
I visited the cottage on a few occasions and had travelled the road from Bovington to Clouds Hill on my motorcycle, but could not really see how Lawrence would not have seen the boys on their bikes.
2005/6 was when my original filming took place.
@@Greenacre-AV Could not have been the same person. I am guessing that my first visit must have around 1980.
Lost me when the conspiracy theories started...
Everything is very England. I love it.
Where exactly is Lawrence's body buried
Moreton village - see video Chapter at 27:24
Noticed that the effigy of Lawrence has his legs crossed. Do you have any insight into this? I do know that there is one common belief that men who went on a crusade had effigies with crossed legs.
He was probably needing a Piss at the time of the Scupture..... and the Sculptor just left it in....Pishy Pants of Arabia
Rather a short chap not the 6.2
Otoole actor!

15:00 ...Since Lawrence is wearing an Arabic dress... the music should have been Arabic too!...
54:05. anyone who ties a tie like that, will tell a long story.
Thank you for your comment: the Museum Curator is partially sighted.
Wow! That tie.
You mean the microphone for recording audio?
its unfortunate that the marble funeral effigy of Lawrence shows him as an arab .... he was not an arab
He was Lawrence of Arabia
dh comment
Thats Greek not Latin above his door
This is pointed out in the documentary.
He betrayed the people more than once.
Was it really unwelcome interest by the media I could be wrong but I thought he went round with an American selling his tales of desert exploits in music halls and cinemas .
You are referring to Lowell Thomas, an American journalist and author, who spent time in Arabia with TEL. His book, "With Lawrence in Arabia", tells of this time (I have a copy). He certainly publicised TEL after the war.
Not for very long He then joined the RAF as a private.
@@peterbamforth6453 He lasted a very short time in the RAF mainly as the result of the publicity Lowell Thomas had generated.
I have mentioned about 1% of Lawrence's story.
@@alexandermenzies9954But he re-joined the RAF as T. E. Shaw and serve until March 1935, did he not?
@@Cloudberry46 Yes, that's right. It was under very different conditions, too.
You can say it you know ❤🇬🇧😊
strang? his watch turned up on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW . repair?invoice with shaw name. owner ? no idea shaw was lawrence.
I know. I almost screemed at the telly in that moment " let me have it!"
I’ve always loved the movie with Peter O’Toole Lawrence of Arabia that movie has fascinated me my whole life. perhaps because of the opening with the antique Brough superior. We could take Ackaba. The artillery is static it doesn’t move points at the sea. Tally ho 🗡🪄❤️🔥
