Lawrence's public image was due in part to American journalist Lowell Thomas' sensationalised reportage of the revolt as well as to Lawrence's autobiographical account Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922). Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an autobiographical account of his experiences during the Arab Revolt of 19161918, when Lawrence was based in Wadi Rum in Jordan as a member of the British Forces. In January 1914, following the outbreak of the First World War, Lawrence was co-opted by the British military to undertake a military survey of the Negev Desert while doing archaeological research. He became a practising archaeologist in the Middle East, working with David George Hogarth and Leonard Woolley on various excavations.

Chapman left his wife to live with Sarah Junner, and they called themselves Mr and Mrs Lawrence.
