Lawrence Of Arabia In Real Life
Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence was in an unusual situation during the First World War. He was a British demolition artist who worked with Arab rebels to destroy Ottoman Empire depots and bridges. Lawrence of Arabia owes his existence to him! He attacked 79 railway bridges, according to him, forcing them to be demolished and rebuilt. He completely wrecked the railways, and some of the ruins can still be seen today. The Turkish military decided to leave some of the rubble rather than tearing it down!
