Journal
of the T. E. Lawrence Society Vol. VIII, No. 2, Spring 1999 Edited by Philip Kerrigan Martin Young: 'Hubert Young and ''Hedgehog''' (7-43) In
Vol. VII, No. 1, Martin Young
described his father's meeting with Lawrence at Carchemish in 1913. He
now continues the story from the point where Young was transferred to
Arab operations, at Lawrence's request, in June 1918. Drawing on The
Independent Arab, family letters and papers, Martin Young relates how
his father and the small team of British officers participated in the
Arab Revolt during the closing months of the War. The diverse elements
making up the fighting force that formed General Allenby's right flank
as he advanced towards Damascus, provided plenty of opportunities for
dissension and confusion among the participants. Lord Tedder's aphorism
that 'war is organised chaos' could appropriately be applied to the
Revolt, and what is surprising is the degree of success that was
achieved under these circumstances. Claire Keith: 'The Lowell Thomas Papers, Part II' (45-96)
Lowell Thomas, 1976
Part
I of Claire Keith's paper, published in Vol. VII, No. 2, was a result of the research work she carried out into the
Lowell Thomas archive at Marist College. The paper has attracted much
interest among our readers. Here, we publish Part II, which concludes Claire's examination of this singular
episode in Lawrence's life. An account and transcript are given of Thomas's field diaries written in 1918 and subsequently used when compiling his travelogues. Other archival papers, such as Mrs Thomas's diaries and general correspondence, have been used when describing the relationship between Thomas and Lawrence. The influence one had on the other has long been a subject of debate. Previous: Contents of Vol. VIII, No. 1
