T. E. Lawrence

 

I cannot stress enough the importance of T. E. Lawrence in Arab history but having said that I would also like to draw your attention to Gertrude Bell and Sir Richard Burton. They are certainly less known to the general public but their lifes work do deserve your attention.

Whatever becomes of legends about the 'Uncrowned King of Arabia', T. E. Lawrence - archaeologist, soldier, diplomat, serviceman, author, and translator - will survive as a figure of importance. He will survive in history through his influence on political developments in the Middle East between 1916 and 1921. He will survive also as the friend and correspondent of Winston Churchill, John Buchan, Bernard Shaw, Nancy Astor, Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, Thomas Hardy, and others. He will survive in English literature as a letter-writer, and as the author of Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Many serious-minded people, however, instinctively avoid the subject of 'Lawrence of Arabia'. They are repelled by conflicting rumours, sensational enigmas, and well-publicised statements that Lawrence was untruthful and that he misled his biographers.

Through research articles, reviews and bibliography, T. E. Lawrence Studies will attempt to establish incontrovertible evidence for the assessment of Lawrence's character and achievements. Through the impressions of people who knew him we hope also to see something of his outward personality. Through essays such as the little-known Malraux chapter in our first issue, we pay tribute to the intangible challenge in Lawrence's thinking which has provoked men and women of widely differing intellectual convictions to write about him. Finally, through bibliographical research we shall identify and locate much of the scattered evidence essential to a full and accurate account of T. E. Lawrence's life.

Research Articles

T. E. Lawrence Studies will publish biographical articles based on painstaking research. In early issues we shall examine the allegation in a recent biography that Lawrence was trained in intelligence work before the First World War, and also the suggestion that, in his friendship with Mrs. Bernard Shaw, he was seeking a 'substitute mother'. There will be an assessment of his knowledge of Arabic, and an investigation of the identity of 'S.A.' to whom Seven Pillars was dedicated. There will also be critical articles such as a discussion of his translation of Le Gigantesque.

Contemporary Views

A symposium titled T. E. Lawrence by his Friends appeared in 1937, but many other reminiscences have been published, often in local newspapers or obscure magazines. T. E. Lawrence Studies will reprint some of these first-hand accounts, beginning with 'The Sayings and Doings of T.E. as heard and experienced by the Sims Family', written by Wing Commander R. G. Sims who, as a Flight Lieutenant, was at Bridlington during the last months of Lawrence's service career. These notes, written in 1937, have hitherto been printed only in a small private edition.

Other opinions

Lawrence's writings contain an articulate record of his deeply introspective searchings into problems of personal conduct, responsibility and integrity - against the background of a powerful spiritual idealism. This philosophical legacy has appealed to several writers of high intellectual calibre, who have tried to set down their interpretation of what he represented to himself and to the society he lived in.

We intend to reprint some of these essays, written from viewpoints as different as those of the German priest Father Alfred Delp, and the English Communist Christopher Caudwell. Although foreign writings will normally be translated into English, we are beginning this series by reprinting 'N'�tait-ce donc que cela?' by Andr� Malraux in the original French text, since we feel that it has lost much in the published translation.

Bibliography

T. E. Lawrence Studies will undertake a major bibliographical project in the serial publication of Jeremy Wilson's catalogue raisonn� of works by, about and relating to Lawrence. This survey, prepared over seven years, will appear in sections, beginning in our first issue with the 'Bibliographical Sources'.

Surveys of Collections

A great many of T. E. Lawrence's letters and manuscripts are now in one or another of the major collections. T. E. Lawrence Studies will publish surveys of collections held by institutions, giving details of the manuscript holdings and the scope of the printed material. The first survey, covering the T. E. Lawrence collections in Oxford, will appear in our second issue. Later surveys will describe the collections at Harvard College, the University of Texas, and in the British Library. There will also be reports on smaller groups of manuscript material.

The first issue of T. E. Lawrence Studies attracted much favourable comment, but until the mid 1980s there were too few subscribers for it to become viable. In the meantime, publication of Vol. I, No. 2, was repeatedly postponed and two Newsletters were issued. In 1985 the T. E. Lawrence Society was formed and in 1990 Jeremy Wilson was elected chairman, with the specific object of providing subscribers a new high-quality journal. This was, in effect, T. E. Lawrence Studies under a different name. Jeremy Wilson edited the first seven issues of the Journal of the T. E. Lawrence Society before retiring as chairman and editor in 1994. As long as the Journal continues to serve the purposes for which it was established, there is no need for a similar publication from T. E. Lawrence Studies.

Was Lawrence gay?

Lawrence did not marry or live at any time with a partner, of either sex. As far as we know he never voluntarily had an intimate relationship with anyone - man or woman.

No-one who knew him well suggested that he was homosexual. Very few of his friends were homosexual. When the accusation was made publicly by Richard Aldington, twenty years after Lawrence's death, not one of his friends or contemporaries in the ranks - the people who knew him well - supported it. As far as I know only two people made this suggestion (in private correspondence) during his lifetime. Neither of them was more than a slight acquaintance, and both had very strong personal reasons to wish to discredit him. They made no secret of their general enmity.

There is independent evidence that in Oxford as a young man Lawrence was attracted to at least one girl, Janet Laurie. In 1910, soon after graduating from university, he left England to join an archaeological excavation in a remote part of Syria where there were no European women. As he spent most of his time there until the outbreak of the 1914-18 war, he had almost no opportunity to mix with the kind of girl that an Englishman of his generation might have thought suitable. Nevertheless, he seems to have had very cordial relationships with English and American women he met in the Middle East and with his Arabic teacher Fareedeh el Akle.

At the beginning of World War One Lawrence was almost certainly sexually inexperienced, as were the great majority of young officers in the British army. The sexual morality of the period was very different from morality today.

Despite many attempts by controversial biographers to claim otherwise, there are no sound reasons to disbelieve his statements in Seven Pillars of Wisdom and elsewhere that during the war, at Deraa in November 1917, he was subjected to flogging and violent male rape. Thereafter he seems to have had a profound horror of sexuality and physical contact with other human beings.

The experience at Deraa left very deep psychological scars which are evident throughout his later writings. In the mid -1920s he developed a flagellation disorder. We have little reliable information about this, but it appears that on a relatively small number of occasions (eleven or so) during the following decade he arranged secretly to have himself beaten in a ritual related to the events at Deraa. He also appears also to have suffered during these years from less extreme forms of masochistic disorder.

A number of controversial biographers, notably Richard Aldington, Desmond Stewart (himself openly homosexual), Lawrence James, and Michael Asher, have written biographies of Lawrence in which they claimed that he was gay. Neither of Lawrence's major scholarly biographers, myself and John E. Mack (a Harvard professor of psychiatry) reached that conclusion. In the T. E. Lawrence Studies website there is very detailed analysis of the case made by Michael Asher (itself largely derived from the books by James and Stewart).

Whatever Lawrence's personal difficulties in this area, he was not homophobic. His personal philosophy, throughout his adult life, was that people should be allowed to lead their own lives. In this and many other matters he was not judgmental. This tolerance has been misinterpreted. Thus, the fact that he does not condemn homosexual practices by others in Seven Pillars of Wisdom has been cited as a basis for assuming that he favoured such practices himself.

Later on

Below, on the right, at the landward end of the South Pier, on Gummers Landing are workshops. Lawrence of Arabia worked here as a marine craft mechanic and designer when an airman with the R.A.F. marine craft unit in 1934. The flag pole shows where the R.A.F. flag once flew. He had taken the name T.E.Shaw so that no one would recognise him. He retired and left Bridlington only three months before being killed in a motor cycle accident in 1935. The R.A.F. continued to use these workshops for Air Sea Rescue craft until 1978 when they were superceded by helicopters. Turning with your back to the sea, you see the tower room where he stayed in the Ozone Hotel, at the junction of Windsor Crescent and West Street, now the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club. A sundial was erected in memorial to him in South Cliff Gardens just across the road.

A week or so later I was exploring the shelves of my favorite used bookstore and found an old paperback edition of Seven Pillars. I had a little trouble getting into the book at first. Some of the syntax was difficult to understand, and some references lost on a modern reader. However, any difficulty with syntax was soon compensated for by the unfolding adventure story.

The Foundations of the Arab Revolt

Seven Pillars begins with an overview of Arab history, starting with a short description of the Moslem conquest in the seventh century, and outlining events through the Arab's eventual overthrown by the Turks in the eleventh century. The Turkish empire were still overlords in Arabia during the First World War, and allied with the Germans against Britain and France. In 1916 Sherif Hussein of Mecca, (leader of the Arabs) declared a rebellion against the Turks.

Lawrence Goes To Mecca

Lawrence was sent to Mecca by the British military command in Cairo to conduct a fact-finding mission. The quality of his reports and the strong relationships he formed with the Arab leaders led to his ultimate assignment as British liaison officer, serving with forces of Emir Feisal, one of Hussein's four sons. Lawrence describes Feisal as the only Arab leader with the "necessary fire" to successfully lead the revolt.

The Arab Revolt

Lawrence chronicles the Arab revolt starting with his 1916 mission to Mecca. He describes his efforts to help Feisal unify the feuding Arab tribes against the Turks. He recounts missions of up to 1000 miles a month on camel back, traversing the harshest desert terrain through extremes of cold and heat. He describes several successful guerrilla campaigns against the Turkish railroad that played a key role in the ultimate victory.

Lawrence profiles British leaders including General Sir Edmund Allenby, the brilliant Commander-in-Chief of British forces in Egypt and Palestine in 1917 and 18. He compares the British "regulars," disciplined professional soldiers fighting for duty and empire, and the Arab "irregulars," undisciplined amateur soldiers fighting for freedom and the spoils of war. Seven Pillars ends with the Arab army's victorious capture of Damascus, but that's not the end of the story.

Hidden Agend

During his years in Arabia Lawrence rode the razors edge between his duty to the British empire, and his moral duty to Feisal and the cause of Arab independence. The British military leadership believed an Arab uprising against the Turks would aid their war with Turkey's ally, Germany. Arab leaders were lead to believe the British were sincere in their desire to free the Arab people from the Turkish yoke. Unfortunately for the Arabs, the British agenda was governed by the politics of empire, not the aspirations of the Arab people. Several times in Seven Pillars Lawrence expresses his shame at dealing with the Arabs under false pretenses.

Immediately after the fall of Damascus Lawrence returned to England. In 1919 he served in the British Delegation at the Paris Peace Conference, working closely with the Feisal to secure Arab independence. The Arabs had helped the Allies win their war with Germany, but now it was time for England and France to get back to empire building. The French were determined to rule Syria, while the British had similar ambitions in Palestine and Iraq. In the ultimate betrayal, Syria, Palestine and Iraq were given over to France and Britain as mandated territories - colonies in all but name. Feisal, who ruled in Damascus after the war, was ousted by the French in 1920.

Exhausted and disappointed after the Paris Peace Conference, Lawrence returned to England. He had begun work on his chronicle of the Arab revolt while in Paris. He published the first edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, A Triumph in December of 1926.

To Trust or Not to Trust

As I reflect on my conversation with my Arab friend I understand his frustration. Trusting motives is one thing when trust has been earned, and something else entirely when it has not. Should we be surprised at the Arab world's attitude toward the West. Probably not. Should we endeavor to understand Arab culture and history and earn their trust. The obvious answer is yes, and reading Seven Pillars is a good place to start.

Biographical History

Thomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935), known to his family as 'Ned', was born at Tremadoc North Wales, the second of five sons of Sir Thomas Robert Tighe Chapman and Sarah Junner. He was educated at Oxford High School and Jesus College Oxford, from which he graduated in 1910 with a 1st Class Honours degree in Modern History. After graduation, Lawrence pursued his earlier enthusiasm for archaeology by participating in the British Museum Expedition excavating the Hittite city of Carchemish. At various times between 1911 and 1914, Lawrence worked under the direction of both D.G. Hogarth and Sir Leonard Woolley. The outbreak of the First World War saw Lawrence in London where initially he spent time working as a civilian in the Geographical Section of the War Office. He was commissioned in October 1914 and posted to Cairo to join the Intelligence Office where he remained for two years. In October 1916, Lawrence accompanied Sir Ronald Storrs to Jidda where he met one of the Arab leaders, Sherif Feisal (who later became King Feisal I of Iraq). This meeting began Lawrence's direct involvement with the Arab Revolt and his close relationship with Feisal and the Arab people.

After the War the American journalist Lowell Thomas delivered a series of lectures in London entitled 'With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia'. He showed pictures of Lawrence in Arab dress and described some of his wartime experiences. The lectures proved immensely popular and earned Lawrence the title 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Lawrence was involved in politics immediately after the war, petitioning for the Arab cause in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Nevertheless, he wanted to leave the limelight and sought obscurity; he resigned as adviser to the Colonial Office under Winston Churchill, in 1922. One of the first things Lawrence did after his resignation was write his personal account of the Arab revolt. Two earlier drafts were destroyed or lost before a final limited edition appeared as The Seven Pillars of Wisdom in 1922.

In 1922, with the agreement of the Air Ministry, Lawrence joined the RAF under the assumed name of John Hume Ross. He entered at the lowest rank of aircraftsman and was keen nobody should discover his true identity. When the British press did find out that Lawrence had joined the RAF, the resulting publicity was unwelcome to the service and to avoid further embarrassment Lawrence was discharged. Anxious to stay within the services he spent a brief period in the Tank Corps between 1923-5, before persuading the authorities to allow him to return once more to the RAF, where he remained until his retirement in February 1935. Upon his retirement, T.E. Lawrence spent only a few weeks in his cottage at Clouds Hill before being fatally injured in a motorcycle accident on 13 May; he died on 19 May 1935.

Lawrence was survived by his mother, elder brother Montagu Robert Lawrence ('Bob') and his youngest brother Arnold Walter Lawrence ('Arnie'). A.W. Lawrence and the solicitor John Snow, were the executors of Lawrence's will (see MSS. Eng. b. 2095-6, c. 6746-9). After his brother's death, A.W. Lawrence spent a considerable part of his life promoting Lawrence's memory, collecting papers about him, and condemning what he considered any misrepresentation of his character in the press. At the same time he pursued his own career as a professor of Archaeology at Cambridge University and at the University College of Ghana.

Note: Lawrence used a number of different names or aliases throughout his lifetime but is referred to as Lawrence in this catalogue.

Scope and Content

The active role A.W. Lawrence played after T.E. Lawrence's death is reflected in the division of the collection into two sections, the papers of T.E. Lawrence (Section A) and of A.W. Lawrence (Section B). It is important to note that much of T.E. Lawrence's correspondence in this collection is not original but copies.

Section A1 (general correspondence) includes a long series of typescript and handwritten transcripts of Lawrence letters, which were prepared and bound by the Lawrence Trustees as part of a project to collect and record Lawrence letters. The originals were lent by their owners, transcribed either by A.W. Lawrence, M.R. Lawrence or the author David Garnett, and the original letter or letters returned to the owner. The resultant typescripts were arranged alphabetically and bound together (see MSS. Eng. d. 3327-41). Occasionally, the original letter may also survive, in MS. Eng. c. 6738, as well as the copy in the typescript volumes.

Section A2 contains a significant collection of family correspondence, arranged chronologically. Lawrence was a particularly enthusiastic correspondent with his family, writing very descriptive letters of his activities and surroundings and less frequently about personal matters. Many extracts from these letters have been published, in The Home Letters of T.E. Lawrence and his Brothers (Oxford, 1954) and The Letters of T.E. Lawrence selected and edited by Malcolm Brown (London, 1988).

There follows a section (A3) of Lawrence's personal papers, which mainly consist of material relating to his time spent in the RAF. The RAF papers have been listed first, and include three bound volumes of transcripts of Air Ministry correspondence with and about T.E. Lawrence, created by the Trustees after Lawrence's death. The RAF papers and the remainder of the miscellaneous personal papers are arranged chronologically.

Section A4 contains Lawrence's literary papers and manuscripts, arranged chronologically according to the order in which he wrote them. These papers cover most of the major works completed by Lawrence and provide examples of a few of the essays and contributions he made to various magazines and journals. (For a comprehensive list of the works of T.E. Lawrence see Lawrence of Arabia, the authorized biography of T.E. Lawrence by Jeremy Wilson (London, 1989), pp.966-75.)

The main part of Section A5 consists of the Administration papers of the executors of Lawrence's will, and is by and large arranged chronologically. There is also a large group of papers relating to the estate of T.E. Lawrence, which include documents relating to Clouds Hill both in Lawrence's lifetime and after his death.

The remainder of T.E. Lawrence's papers (Section A6), consist of an extensive photographic collection, covering most periods of Lawrence's life, but mainly the First World War. It is believed that Lawrence himself took a large quantity of these pictures, and after the War was keen to acquire the prints of others in an attempt to chart the Arab revolt. Many of the pictures remain unidentified and undated.

The rest of the collection consists of the papers of A.W. Lawrence and include his own correspondence with those interested in T.E. Lawrence (Section B1), and an assortment of material he collected about him (Section B2). They include documents concerning the impostor and forger E.H.T. Robinson, who claimed to have served with Lawrence during the First World War (see MS. Eng. c. 6753, fols. 20-97). Within this section are papers relating to biographies of T.E. Lawrence, including some particularly interesting replies to the letters of Robert Graves asking for information on Lawrence in 1927 (Section B3). There are also press cuttings and other printed material, which reflect to some extent the large audience reached by the exploits of Lawrence of Arabia (Section B4).

Acquisition

T.E. Lawrence's papers were given to the Bodleian Library by the Lawrence family over a period of 45 years, beginning with a gift of family letters in 1939, and continuing to arrive intermittently throughout the decades to 1985. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom Trust gave a bundle of press cuttings to add to the collection in 2000 (see MS. Eng. c. 6767).

Restrictions on Access

While the restrictions on use of the papers in the Bodleian remained in force, a simple box list of the collection was used to aid those readers who had received permission from the Trustees to look at the collection. The ending of the restrictions on access has prompted the proper sorting and rearranging of the collection, resulting in new shelfmarks. A conspectus of old and new shelfmarks is available in the Modern Papers Reading Room (Room 132) to help those who may have old document references. The papers were given to the Bodleian on condition that until 1970 they could be consulted only with the written permission of the Lawrence Trustees (who acted for the family). This restriction was later extended to 1 January 2000. From that date the Bodleian administers requests for access to and copies of the papers.

Restrictions on Use

Requests to publish or quote from the papers must be addressed in writing to the Seven Pillars of Wisdom Trust, through the Bodleian Library.

Related Materials

Other Lawrence papers in the Bodleian include the holograph draft of the third version of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom (MS. Eng. hist. d. 112), to be consulted on the microfilm available in the Modern Papers Reading Room; the final draft of The Mint (MS. Eng. hist. c. 607); and a commonplace book, Minorities (MS. Eng. misc. d. 788). There are groups of letters from Lawrence to A.E. Chambers, Geoffrey Dawson, E.T. Leeds (Dep. c. 760, fols. 1-160) and transcripts of letters to his mother (MSS. Eng. lett. c. 146-7). Material concerning him is included in the papers of Lionel Curtis (MSS. Curtis 96, fols. 121-68; 97) and of Geoffrey Dawson. Further individual letters are to be found scattered through the Library's holdings; details are available in the Accessions Index, on cards, in Duke Humfrey's Library. In addition, Jesus College, Oxford holds Lawrence's 1910 thesis; requests to consult it must be made in writing to the Fellow Archivist at Jesus College.

15&16May,1916:
The Sykes-Picot Agreement


1. Sir Edward Grey to Paul Cambon, 15 May 1916


I shall have the honour to reply fully in a further note to your Excellency's note of the 9th instant, relative to the creation of an Arab State, but I should meanwhile be grateful if your Excellency could assure me that in those regions which, under the conditions recorded in that communication, become entirely French, or in which French interests are recognised as predominant, any existing British concessions, rights of navigation or development, and the rights and privileges of any British religious, scholastic, or medical institutions will be maintained.

His Majesty's Government are, of course, ready to give a reciprocal assurance in regard to the British area.


2. Sir Edward Grey to Paul Cambon, 16 May 1916


I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 9th instant, stating that the French Government accept the limits of a future Arab State, or Confederation of States, and of those parts of Syria where French interests predominate, together with certain conditions attached thereto, such as they result from recent discussions in London and Petrograd on the subject.

I have the honour to inform your Excellency in reply that the acceptance of the whole project, as it now stands, will involve the abdication of considerable British interests, but, since His Majesty's Government recognise the advantage to the general cause of the Allies entailed in producing a more favourable internal political situation in Turkey, they are ready to accept the arrangement now arrived at, provided that the co-operation of the Arabs is secured, and that the Arabs fulfil the conditions and obtain the towns of Homs, Hama, Damascus, and Aleppo.

It is accordingly understood between the French and British Governments---

1. That France and Great Britain are prepared to recognize and protect an independent Arab State or a Confederation of Arab States in the areas (A) and (B) marked on the annexed map, under the suzerainty of an Arab chief. That in area (A) France, and in area (B) Great Britain, shall have priority of right of enterprise and local loans. That in area (A) France, and in area (B) Great Britain, shall alone supply advisers or foreign functionaries at the request of the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States.

2. That in the blue area France, and in the red area Great Britain, shall be allowed to establish such direct or indirect administration or control as they desire and as they may think fit to arrange with the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States.

3. That in the brown area there shall be established an international administration, the form of which is to be decided upon after consultation with Russia, and subsequently in consultation with the other Allies, and the representatives of the Shereef of Mecca.

4. That Great Britain be accorded (1) the ports of Haifa and Acre, (2) guarantee of a given supply of water from the Tigris and Euphrates in area (A) for area (B). His Majesty's Government, on their part, undertake that they will at no time enter into negotiations for the cession of Cyprus to any third Power without the previous consent of the French Government.

5. That Alexandretta shall be a free port as regards the trade of the British Empire, and that there shall be no discrimination in port charges or facilities as regards British shipping and British goods; that there shall be freedom of transit for British goods through Alexandretta and by railway through the blue area, whether those goods are intended for or originate in the red area, or (B) area, or area (A); and there shall be no discrimination, direct or indirect against British goods on any railway or against British goods or ships at any port serving the areas mentioned.

That Haifa shall be a free port as regards the trade of France, her dominions and protectorates, and there shall be no discrimination in port charges or facilities as regards French shipping and French goods. There shall be freedom of transit for French goods through Haifa and by the British railway through the brown area, whether those goods are intended for or originate in the blue area, area (A), or area (B), and there shall be no discrimination, direct or indirect, against French goods on any railway, or against French goods or ships at any port serving the areas mentioned.

6. That in area (A) the Baghdad Railway shall not be extended southwards beyond Mosul, and in area (B) northwards beyond Samarra, until a railway connecting Baghdad with Aleppo via the Euphrates Valley has been completed, and then only with the concurrence of the two Governments.

7. That Great Britain has the right to build, administer, and be sole owner of a railway connecting Haifa with area (B), and shall have a perpetual right to transport troops along such a line at all times.

It is to be understood by both Governments that this railway is to facilitate the connexion of Baghdad with Haifa by rail, and it is further understood that, if the engineering difficulties and expense entailed by keeping this connecting line in the brown area only make the project unfeasible, that the French Government shall be prepared to consider that the line in question may also traverse the polygon Banias-Keis Marib-Salkhab Tell Otsda-Mesmie before reaching area (B).

8. For a period of twenty years the existing Turkish customs tariff shall remain in force throughout the whole of the blue and red areas, as well as in areas (A) and (B), and no increase in the rates of duty or conversion from ad valorem to specific rates shall be made except by agreement between the two Powers.

There shall be no interior customs barriers between any of the above-mentioned areas. The customs duties leviable on goods destined for the interior shall be collected at the port of entry and handed over to the administration of the area of destination.

9. It shall be agreed that the French Government will at no time enter into any negotiations for the cession of their rights and will not cede such rights in the blue area to any third Power, except the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States without the previous agreement of His Majesty's Government, who, on their part, will give a similar undertaking to the French Government regarding the red area.

10. The British and French Governments, as the protectors of the Arab State, shall agree that they will not themselves acquire and will not consent to a third Power acquiring territorial possessions in the Arabian peninsula, nor consent to a third Power installing a naval base either on the east coast, or on the islands, of the Red Sea. This, however, shall not prevent such adjustment of the Aden frontier as may be necessary in consequence of recent Turkish aggression.

11. The negotiations with the Arabs as to the boundaries of the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States shall be continued through the same channel as heretofore on behalf of the two Powers.

12. It is agreed that measures to control the importation of arms into the Arab territories will be considered by the two Governments.

I have further the honour to state that, in order to make the agreement complete, His Majesty's Government are proposing to the Russian Government to exchange notes analogous to those exchanged by the latter and your Excellency's Government on the 26th April last. Copies of these notes will be communicated to your Excellency as soon as exchanged.

I would also venture to remind your Excellency that the conclusion of the present agreement raises, for practical consideration, the question of the claims of Italy to a share in any partition or rearrangement of Turkey in Asia, as formulated in article 9 of the agreement of the 26th April, 1915, between Italy and the Allies.

His Majesty's Government further consider that the Japanese Government should be informed of the arrangement now concluded.

The biography was published in December of that year as Lawrence and the Arabs. Liddell Hart's biography was much more military based and was published in March 1934 under the title 'T.E.

15 & 16 May, 1916:
The Sykes-Picot Agreement


1. Sir Edward Grey to Paul Cambon, 15 May 1916


I shall have the honour to reply fully in a further note to your Excellency's note of the 9th instant, relative to the creation of an Arab State, but I should meanwhile be grateful if your Excellency could assure me that in those regions which, under the conditions recorded in that communication, become entirely French, or in which French interests are recognised as predominant, any existing British concessions, rights of navigation or development, and the rights and privileges of any British religious, scholastic, or medical institutions will be maintained.

His Majesty's Government are, of course, ready to give a reciprocal assurance in regard to the British area.


2. Sir Edward Grey to Paul Cambon, 16 May 1916


I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 9th instant, stating that the French Government accept the limits of a future Arab State, or Confederation of States, and of those parts of Syria where French interests predominate, together with certain conditions attached thereto, such as they result from recent discussions in London and Petrograd on the subject.

I have the honour to inform your Excellency in reply that the acceptance of the whole project, as it now stands, will involve the abdication of considerable British interests, but, since His Majesty's Government recognise the advantage to the general cause of the Allies entailed in producing a more favourable internal political situation in Turkey, they are ready to accept the arrangement now arrived at, provided that the co-operation of the Arabs is secured, and that the Arabs fulfil the conditions and obtain the towns of Homs, Hama, Damascus, and Aleppo.

It is accordingly understood between the French and British Governments---

1. That France and Great Britain are prepared to recognize and protect an independent Arab State or a Confederation of Arab States in the areas (A) and (B) marked on the annexed map, under the suzerainty of an Arab chief. That in area (A) France, and in area (B) Great Britain, shall have priority of right of enterprise and local loans. That in area (A) France, and in area (B) Great Britain, shall alone supply advisers or foreign functionaries at the request of the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States.

2. That in the blue area France, and in the red area Great Britain, shall be allowed to establish such direct or indirect administration or control as they desire and as they may think fit to arrange with the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States. 3. That in the brown area there shall be established an international administration, the form of which is to be decided upon after consultation with Russia, and subsequently in consultation with the other Allies, and the representatives of the Shereef of Mecca.

4. That Great Britain be accorded (1) the ports of Haifa and Acre, (2) guarantee of a given supply of water from the Tigris and Euphrates in area (A) for area (B). His Majesty's Government, on their part, undertake that they will at no time enter into negotiations for the cession of Cyprus to any third Power without the previous consent of the French Government.

5. That Alexandretta shall be a free port as regards the trade of the British Empire, and that there shall be no discrimination in port charges or facilities as regards British shipping and British goods; that there shall be freedom of transit for British goods through Alexandretta and by railway through the blue area, whether those goods are intended for or originate in the red area, or (B) area, or area (A); and there shall be no discrimination, direct or indirect against British goods on any railway or against British goods or ships at any port serving the areas mentioned.

That Haifa shall be a free port as regards the trade of France, her dominions and protectorates, and there shall be no discrimination in port charges or facilities as regards French shipping and French goods. There shall be freedom of transit for French goods through Haifa and by the British railway through the brown area, whether those goods are intended for or originate in the blue area, area (A), or area (B), and there shall be no discrimination, direct or indirect, against French goods on any railway, or against French goods or ships at any port serving the areas mentioned.

6. That in area (A) the Baghdad Railway shall not be extended southwards beyond Mosul, and in area (B) northwards beyond Samarra, until a railway connecting Baghdad with Aleppo via the Euphrates Valley has been completed, and then only with the concurrence of the two Governments.

7. That Great Britain has the right to build, administer, and be sole owner of a railway connecting Haifa with area (B), and shall have a perpetual right to transport troops along such a line at all times.

It is to be understood by both Governments that this railway is to facilitate the connexion of Baghdad with Haifa by rail, and it is further understood that, if the engineering difficulties and expense entailed by keeping this connecting line in the brown area only make the project unfeasible, that the French Government shall be prepared to consider that the line in question may also traverse the polygon Banias-Keis Marib-Salkhab Tell Otsda-Mesmie before reaching area (B).

8. For a period of twenty years the existing Turkish customs tariff shall remain in force throughout the whole of the blue and red areas, as well as in areas (A) and (B), and no increase in the rates of duty or conversion from ad valorem to specific rates shall be made except by agreement between the two Powers.

There shall be no interior customs barriers between any of the above-mentioned areas. The customs duties leviable on goods destined for the interior shall be collected at the port of entry and handed over to the administration of the area of destination.

9. It shall be agreed that the French Government will at no time enter into any negotiations for the cession of their rights and will not cede such rights in the blue area to any third Power, except the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States without the previous agreement of His Majesty's Government, who, on their part, will give a similar undertaking to the French Government regarding the red area.

10. The British and French Governments, as the protectors of the Arab State, shall agree that they will not themselves acquire and will not consent to a third Power acquiring territorial possessions in the Arabian peninsula, nor consent to a third Power installing a naval base either on the east coast, or on the islands, of the Red Sea. This, however, shall not prevent such adjustment of the Aden frontier as may be necessary in consequence of recent Turkish aggression.

11. The negotiations with the Arabs as to the boundaries of the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States shall be continued through the same channel as heretofore on behalf of the two Powers.

12. It is agreed that measures to control the importation of arms into the Arab territories will be considered by the two Governments.

I have further the honour to state that, in order to make the agreement complete, His Majesty's Government are proposing to the Russian Government to exchange notes analogous to those exchanged by the latter and your Excellency's Government on the 26th April last. Copies of these notes will be communicated to your Excellency as soon as exchanged.

I would also venture to remind your Excellency that the conclusion of the present agreement raises, for practical consideration, the question of the claims of Italy to a share in any partition or rearrangement of Turkey in Asia, as formulated in article 9 of the agreement of the 26th April, 1915, between Italy and the Allies.

His Majesty's Government further consider that the Japanese Government should be informed of the arrangement now concluded.
