A 'shopping list' by T.E. Lawrence after the capture of Aqaba, written in pencil on the back of an army messages and signal pad in July 1917. Apart from staggering 16 000 pounds in gold, it mentions rice, flour and sugar for 2000 men, 150 boxes of dynamite, 2000 rifles, 6000 cigarettes but also 2 thermos flasks and 2 pairs of socks!
