E. Lawrence in the Middle East. Maxwell Henry Coote (Wing Commander, 1895-1920) joined the Royal Field Artillery and saw service at Gallipoli in 1915, later transferring to the Royal Flying Corps. After the war he served as Churchill's aide de camp at the Cairo Peace Conference in 1921. The diary records his experiences with Churchill and his meetings with Lawrence throughout the Conference, documenting his time guiding the members of the party around the area. It includes novel insights as "Col. Lawrence has also joined our party tonight...he is most awfully nice to talk to, so quiet and unassuming and no 'side' whatsoever"; "I had breakfast about 9 o'clock. It is one great thing about Winston that he never gets up early"; "[Winston] took me out with him when he went off painting: we went to the most wonderful old Derwish monastery...I don't ever remember having seen anyone painting in oils before...he was quite amusing to watch and very typical in the way he slapped on paint and scraped it all off again, but he is very clever and has a great eye for colour...". The Conference was a series of meetings by British officials for examining and discussing Middle Eastern problems and to frame a common policy, which conclusively approved a plan for giving control over two large pieces of the former Turkish territories that Britain controlled to princes in the Hashemite family. The collection provides a fascinating insight into the workings and practicalities through this pivotal diplomatic event of Churchill, Lawrence and Bell, three of the most influential of the 39 delegates gathered in Cairo for the conference.
