Tumbledown
Robert Lawrence was born into the army. His brother, father and grandfather had all been in the forces before him, so it seemed natural for him to join up. He joined the Scots Guards and loved the army life - its sense of family and history, the mess nights, the ceremonial, the training and travel. When the Falkland Islands were invaded by Argentina in 1982, Lawrence became involved in the battle for Tumbledown Mountain, in which he was seriously maimed. This is an account of his experiences there and his subsequent recovery and treatment on his return to Britain. He and his father describe the disgust they felt at the reception of the conquering heroes - the men the British Army tried to forget. Published to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Falklands War, this is a testimony to those who liberated the Islands and to their families who lived through the war and its aftermath.
When the Fighting is Over
This is the story of Robert Lawrence of the Scots Guards who was severely wounded as he led his platoon in an attack against an Argentinian machine-gun position during the battle for Tumbledown Mountain in 1982. The injury to Lawrence's head was so severe that it was assumed that he would die and he had to wait for four hours before medical staff could help him, but he did eventually make a recovery, coming to terms with his paralysis.

Useful Junk
An autobiography of Robert Lawrence a missionary living in Sonora Mexico. It covers his life from a rebellious childhood, through the prisons of California, to Mexico missions.

A Quaker Book Of Wisdom
"The most valuable aspect of religion," writes Robert Lawrence Smith, "is that it provides us with a framework for living. I have always felt that the beauty and power of Quakerism is that it exhorts us to live more simply, more truthfully, more charitably." Taking his inspiration from the teaching of the first Quaker, George Fox, and from his own nine generations of Quaker forebears, Smith speaks to all of us who are seeking a way to make our lives simpler, more meaningful, and more useful. Beginning with the Quaker belief that "There is that of God in every person," Smith explores the ways in which we can harness the inner light of God that dwells in each of us to guide the personal choice...

I also share passenger behaviors that drive flight crews crazy. Enjoy the trip!
Memorials of Robert Lawrence, Robert Bartlett, and Their Descendants (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Memorials of Robert Lawrence, Robert Bartlett, and Their Descendants This family history is the result of an effort commenced in 1886 to assuage grief by keeping the mind occupied. At first it was undertaken without any thought of publication, but as it has developed to such an extent as to embrace substantially everything of interest connected with the two families, it has seemed best to put the record into such form as would preserve it for the use of the present and future generations. It is not published for general but private distribution. The writer cannot hope that the work is devoid of errors, although great care has been exercised to make it accurate and trustworthy. W...
