Indexer's notes to individual indexes

Index to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, The Complete 1922 Text

In Seven Pillars Lawrence frequently provides a surname only. He also claims to have disguised identities, particularly of minor characters. Despite this, comparison with contemporary documents shows that a large number of the names are real. In many instances it has been possible to add further information here, such as initials or forenames as well as rank and regiment. The ranks given, however, are indicative only, since there were many changes in rank, and temporary ranks, during the Revolt. Generally, the ranks given were held towards the end of the war. 

  • Place names beginning Jebel (hill) or Wadi (valley) are entered under the second element in the name.

  • Entries entirely in small capitals are those given by Lawrence as chapter headings, or running titles in the 1926 subscribers’ abridgement of Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

  • The arrangement of material within the entries is broadly chronological. Minor references with no qualifying description are listed in brackets at the appropriate place. 

  • Ill., following an entry, indicates that there is a photograph of the subject.

  • Diary, followed by a month and year in the entry for a place name, indicates that the place is in Lawrence’s wartime pocket diaries for that month, see Appendix II.
