T. E. Lawrence in Moreton, Dorset

'TO THE DEAR MEMORY OF

T.E. LAWRENCE

FELLOW OF ALL SOULS COLLEGE

OXFORD

BORN 10 AUGUST 1888

DIED 19 MAY 1935'

The mother of T.E Lawrence, more familiarly known as Lawrence of Arabia, wanted to emphasise his academic achievements as opposed to his military ones.

Lawrence's funeral service took place at St Nicolas Church, Moreton, and two of the many people present included Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon. The grave above is in a cemetery extension some yards beyond the church.
