Never-before-seen photographs of Winston Churchill touring the Middle East with his wife Clementine and Lawrence of Arabia are expected to reach £4,000 at auction.
Churchill visited on a diplomatic mission in 1921 after being appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies.
He attended the Cairo Conference in Egypt alongside T.E. Lawrence - the hero of the Arab Revolt in the First World War.
The images, which were taken by Captain Maxwell Coote who was Churchill's aide-de-camp at the conference, are being sold a century later by his descendants with London-based Forum Auctions who expect the archive to fetch £4,000.
