Lawrence of Arabia
Family legend
My father joined the army at 15 . In 1918 he was reluctant to return to England so he joined the French fire brigade in Calais. Left in 1921 but still reluctant to settle into civilian life so he joined the Royal Air Force. Sent to Baghdad where he flew daily aeroplane deliveries to Basra with Lawrence of Arabia in a two seater plane. Hence I was named Lawrence. He eventually returned to England in 1924 and became a ladies hairdresser!
