The information in these pages from comes from
Appendix II of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, where
Lawrence writes:
'The following table of our movements or
position-at-night is from my skeleton diary. Accident,
preoccupations, and prudence were responsible for gaps. My book
follows the strict order of time: but leaves out many by-plays.
The dates here do not altogether agree with its text. Memory
sometimes assists me with moonlight, on a new-moon night: and I
have preferred memory to the calendar. Arabic names are spelt
anyhow, to prevent me appearing an adherent of one of the
existing systems of transliteration.'
Lawrence
took the information in the Appendix from pocket diaries he had
carried during 1917 and 1918. These are now in the British
Library, Add MS 45985 A-B. |
