Though Lawrence and his brothers did not attend a "Public School", his father, many of his colleagues, friends and famous English men of letters did.
Who spent school days with whom?
Here is the English "Old Boy Network".
NOTES: They are classified by their schools in alphabetical order, and their names in chronological order.
The names of the people Lawrence knew personally are shown in deep colour.
Each asterisk(*) between their birth and death years stands for one year of their life. Their school years are shown in light blue asterisks.
