In the 1920s X was a household name. X exploits as an intelligence officer and saboteur in the desert had been seized upon by the media. X was a glamorous figure. Weary of fame, x decided to enlist as an ordinary man in the armed forces.
In 1922, using a diffent name, x underwent basic training at RAF Uxbridge. X was older than the other recruits and found the physical exercise and arms drill very tiring. X also resented the deliberate humiliations meted out by the NCOs. After ten weeks X was posted to Farnborough for a photography course. When the Daily Express revealed X identity, X had to leave the RAF.
However, x enlisted again, this time using the name Shaw – borrowed from his friend. X subsequently served in the Tank Corps and the RAF, even reappearing briefly at Uxbridge in 1925.
