BAXTER (Frank Condie)American book collector who built up a large collection of T. E. Lawrence material which was ultimately acquired by Edwards H. Metcalf. An annotated check-list of a collection of writings by and about T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), with many other things collateral to the story of his military, literary, and personal life, and to the history of the Arab revolt and the Palestine campaign of World War I. 1968 [catalogue raisonné] BEACH (D M)Correspondence. BEAUFORTE-GREENWOOD (W E G )(1878-?) RAF Officer. Head of the Marine Equipment Branch at the Air Ministry. Met Lawrence in 1930. Lawrence worked on Marine Equipment projects from the autumn of 1930 until 1932, and as Beauforte-Greenwood's assistant from early 1933 until March 1935. Correspondence.
BEAUMONT (Thomas W)A private in the Machine Gun Corps with the Hejaz Armoured Car Company, which served with the Arab forces during part of the Arab Revolt. Correspondence. Autobiographical article: 'Rank and file' (Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research LVIV:237, Spring 1981, pp. 6-24). Beaumont was a very young soldier who can have had only slight contact with Lawrence during the Arab Revolt. It is clear from the surviving correspondence that their post-war acquaintance, maintained by Beaumont, was very distant. Beaumont did Lawrence a great disservice by revealing to the British press the date of Lawrence's retirement from the RAF, with the result that journalists besieged Clouds Hill and made life there impossible. In the late 1960s the Sunday Times reproduced Beaumont's highly improbable allegation that Lawrence's assistant at Carchemish, Dahoum, was really named Salim Ahmed, and that Lawrence had visited Dahoum during the war. Beaumont also told Sunday Times researchers that, at Lawrence's funeral, he had overheard remarks by Lady Astor to the effect that Canon Kinloch's sermon was the first time she had heard him sound sincere. As A. W. Lawrence pointed out at the time, this was plainly fiction. There was no sermon at the Funeral service, which A. W. Lawrence arranged. Lady Astor - who was not a conventional Anglican - had no reason to have heard Kinloch speak on any previous occasion. (see Phillip Knightley and Colin Simpson, The secret lives of Lawrence of Arabia, London, Nelson, 1969. p. 276).

Bell, (Charles Francis)(1871-1966) WW. Joined the staff of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, in 1896. Keeper of Fine Art 1909-31. Correspondence. Bell met Lawrence through the latter's work on medieval artifacts in the Ashmolean. Bell later stated that it was he who suggested to Lawrence the Middle East walking tour to research Crusader Castles. Bell had a low opinion of post-war British art. It was only this that dissuaded Lawrence from presenting to the Ashmolean all the original illustrations that he had commissioned for Seven Pillars of Wisdom. A few remaining paintings and drawings, including the frontispiece of Seven Pillars (a portrait of Feisal by Augustus John) were eventually accepted by the museum after Bell had retired. Bell deposited his letters from Lawrence, together with a brief but important memoir, under a long embargo in the British Museum Library.
