Golden Warrior, The

by Lawrence, James

  9 The Times, 14 and 22.12.62.

  10 Listener, 20.12.62.

  11 The Times, 22.11.69.

  12 Middle East Journal 24 (1970) 520–1.

  13 Sunday Times, 2.6.68. I am also indebted to Phillip Knightley and Colin Simpson for their recollections of Bruce and the circumstances in which his story was published. Details of payments made to him and Professor Lawrence may be found in their papers now in the Imperial War Museum.

  14 T.E. Lawrence Papers, St Antony’s College, Oxford.

  15 Wilson, 1134–5; Wilson was and is highly sceptical of the Bruce material on the grounds that it contains fibs and is unverifiable. Given the nature of Bruce’s services to Lawrence this is not surprising and in this matter, Professor Mack was willing to take his word, which was corroborated by others involved. (Mack, 431.)

  16 T.E. Notes 4, v (May 1993).
