The chemist Herbert Garland used his scientific knowledge to teach Thomas Lawrence how to blow up railway lines. The Royal Society of Chemistry wants the behind-the-line heroism of the scientist to be remembered. The Lawrence of Arabia movie is marking its 50th anniversary next week. The military and political achievements of Thomas Lawrence - remembered as TE Lawrence or Lawrence of Arabia - were depicted in David Lean's iconic movie, first screened on 10 December 1962.
