Lawrence's Motor-cycle Crash site near Bovington
Ordnance Survey Map Grid reference SY 82623 90492
The New Memorial Plaque reads;- "Near this spot Lawrence of Arabia crashed on his motorcycle and was fatally injured 13 May 1935." "This tree was planted on 13 May 1983 by Mr Tom Beaumont who served with Lawrence in Arabia as his No.1 Vickers Machine Gunner." |
The New Memorial Stone Below is placed near the spot where Lawrence was fatally injured (Click on for closer look)
The inscription reads "T.E.Lawrence was fatally injured near this place 13 May 1935 - T.E.L.Society"
NB: In case you hadn't noticed, Lawrence crashed his Brough Superior motor bike on the 13th May and died just after 8pm on the 19th May. Although he lived another 6 days, I don't believe he was conscious at any time and according to doctors at the time; even if he had lived; he would have been most severely disabled both physically and mentally, as he suffered very serious head and chest injuries.
