Hemingway and Lawrence

 There appears to have been some connection and maybe influence on Lawrence by Hemingway

From Ernest Hemingway and DH Lawrence: A vital connection:

In April 1927, while composing Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928), DH Lawrence praised the characters, compression and intensity of Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time (1925): “The sketches are short, sharp, vivid, and most of them excellent . . . These few sketches are enough to create the man and all his history: we need to know no more.”

The first sentence of Lawrence’s work — “Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically,” — applies with equal force to Hemingway’s novel. Both Jake Barnes and Clifford Chatterley have been injured and destroyed by the war. Barnes, hit in the groin, appears outwardly normal but is sexually impotent. Clifford, paralysed below the waist, is confined to a mechanical wheelchair.
