U Tube channel I discovered called The Great War each week covers what happened during WW1 this week 100 years ago. Very interesting and I think many would like their initial videos that set up the background to the war. They discuss TE Lawrence and that he was aware of the agreement though in "Lawrence of Arabia" he is seen as being caught off guard by it.
