Colonel Brighton is in essence a composite of all of the British officers who served in the Middle East with T.E. Lawrence, most notably Lieutenant Colonel S.F. Newcombe. Newcombe played much the same role as Brighton does in the movie, being Lawrence's predecessor as liaison to the Arab Revolt. He, and many of his men, were captured by the Turks in 1916, but he later escaped. Also, like Brighton, Newcombe was not well liked by the Arabs, though he remained friends with Lawrence. In Michael Wilson's original script, he was "Colonel Newcombe". The character's name was changed by Robert Bolt. Brighton was apparently created to represent how ordinary British soldiers would feel about a man like Lawrence: impressed by his accomplishments, but repulsed by his affected manner.
