Context:
Thomas Edward Lawrence, CB, DSO (16 August 1888[5] – 19 May 1935), known professionally as T. E. Lawrence, was a British Army officer renowned especially for his liaison role during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and the Arab Revolt against Ottoman Turkish rule of 1916–18. The breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title which was used for the 1962 film based on his World War I activities.
@oristarA,
Although it could, in certain contexts, mean associations with organizations, in this case i am certain they mean associations with other people. I say this because T. E. Lawrence was not particularly known as a member of professional or fraternal organizations.

Have you ever read his work
Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph, Set? His vivid language is still vivid today? I mean, only of old-fashioned vividness.
@oristarA,
We still refer to other people we have business interests with as
associates.
@oristarA,
I read it a very long time ago, when i was in university, more than 40 years ago. All i remember is that i was bored.

Not get you very well. "Other people who are associates"?
@oristarA,
Business partners, people like that.
