'Lawrenece of Arabia's' real name was Thomas Edward Lawrence. But he had many names and one of them was 'T.E. Shaw.'. 'T.E.' as he liked being called, was born on 15th August, 1888, in the North Welsh village of Tremadoc. Many biographers have mentioned that he was actually born on the 16th, by claiming that but official records have indicated that he was born on the 15th. Lawrence, himself, used this date knowing that Napoleon was also born on the same date. Jan 29 01, 12:08 PM
