From which T E Lawrence took his pen name in the 1920's

After completing his diplomatic service under Churchill, Lawrence returned to the military in 1922 by enlisting in the Royal Air Force. But in an attempt to avoid the glare of celebrity, he did so under a pseudonym: John Hume Ross. Months later, the press revealed his secret, and he was discharged. Lawrence subsequently enlisted as a private in the Royal Tank Corps, but under the assumed name Thomas Edward Shaw, a nod to his friend, the famed Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Lawrence subsequently published an English translation of Homer’s Odyssey under the pen name of T.E. Shaw and maintained the assumed name until his death.

Sorry smouse I did not realise it was no asking. Hellywelly gave me lots of information which I already had, so I am none the wiser!

This is definitely the hardest question in this quiz! Good luck, I haven't found it either.

Just out of interest, has anyone actually found the answer to this question? Not asking, just wondering if it's worth carrying on, as I've just about given up finding the answer!
