The Australia War Memorial has released never before seen footage of Lawrence of Arabia.

Shot in Palestine in March 1918, the rare film shows Lawrence of Arabia with the leader of the 1916-18 Arab Revolt, Emir Feisal and American Journalist Lowell Thomas.

The footage also features camel-mounted soldiers of Feisal's army after their successful attack on the strategic Sinai port of Akaba.

Lieutenant-Colonel T.E. Lawrence (1888-1935), often known as “Lawrence of Arabia”, was a British soldier remembered for his liaison role during the Arab Revolt.
