It was as leader of the Arab Revolt against the forces of the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, that Lieutenant Colonel T. E. Lawrence became famous throughout the world as Lawrence of Arabia. Disillusioned by his failure to bring the Arabs self-rule, he subsequently shunned publicity and sought future anonymity by re-enlisting in both the Royal Air Force as Aircraftsman Ross, and as Private Shaw in the Royal Tank Corps. He died after an accident whilst riding his beloved Brough Superior motorcycle near Bovington in 1935. Many Heads of State and the famous attended his funeral service at Moreton church, including Winston Churchill. His grave is in the small cemetery here in the village, and not in the churchyard as many presuppose.
