T.E. Lawrence and Dr. Ernest Altounyan

Looking back to his life, T.E. Lawrence (“Lawrence of Arabia”) wrote to poet-historian Robert Graves: “I think Frederick Manning, and an Armenian, called Altounyan, and E.M. Forster are the three most I care for, since Hogarth died.” Lawrence was referring to Dr. Ernest Altounyan, whom he had met in Aleppo.
