About This Item
Half-Way House / Steyning Road, Rottingdean, 1933. 2 pp in ink on personal letterhead. 1 vols. 4to. Very good. 2 pp in ink on personal letterhead. 1 vols. 4to. A Plea to TE Lawrence re the Memory of Albert Ball. Baring discusses the recent appearance of and furor over a new book on the WW I flying ace Albert Ball, [CAPTAIN ALBERT BALL VC DS, by RH Kiernan], which Baring considers "a noble tribute to a great boy. His father Sir Albert Ball Mayor of Nottingham, misreading it, has seen red & considers it a slander on his son and an insult to the RAF."
Baring continues, "To me this is as if the Spartan fathers had considered Simonides' epitaph [on the fallen Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae] ... a slur ... " Noting that Ball had spoken critically to the press about the book, Baring asks Lawrence if he might consider reading it and giving his opinion.
