On the home page of this blog, you've correctly identified the photo of the dust surrounding the Light Horse as being by your great grandfather. The ID number is B00256 on our collection search. It is one of the key banner photos we are using along with a cropped picture of Lawrence from an original by Harry Chase. I don't think we have any photos of Lawrence by J P Campbell. Certainly we would have used them if we did! Mal Hi Don, I hope you can come and see the exhibition as there are several photos by J P Campbell featured in it.

I'm in Melbourne but hope to get up for the exhibition. I'm particularly interested as my great grandfather was J P Campbell, who was an official photographer in palestine. I suspect he produced many of the images that will be used (certainly the one on the exhibition home page is one of his). Not certain if he ever photographed Lawrence, he certainly took some of Feisal. Keep up the good work! Don Ross donaldr@netspace.net.au Hi Mal,

I have long been interested in the work of Lowell Thomas and Harry Chase and their role in initiating the "Lawrence of Arabia" popular culture legend - but not the actual phrase. I think that was first used by an unknown journalist reviewing LT's book on Lawrence in about 1925. I suppose you've seen Jeremy Wilson's demolition of the movie at http://www.telawrence.info/telawrenceinfo/legacy3/film/index.htm Worth a look if you haven't!
