Pte. Albert Edward Bartlet
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Basingstoke
Bert Bartlett was a native of Basingstoke, Hampshire who, prior to the outbreak of the Great War, decided to join the British Army. Although relatively short in stature, he was a gutsy character, which was exemplified by the fact that he walked the 14 miles from Basingstoke to Aldershot in order to join up. Unfortunately for him, however, he was underage and was turned away. Not to be denied, he took a similar walk, a couple of weeks later, on this occasion making his way from Basingstoke to Winchester!
Winchester, at that time was home to several regiments, such as the Hampshires, Rifle Brigade and the Kings Royal Rifle Corps. However, also present were the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and Bert liked the sound of them, so he gave the right age this time and was sworn in. I know that he became a member of the Regimental band and that when war broke out he was abroad, possibly in India.
He took part in the landing at Cape Helles, at which time he was wounded and sent to a hospital in Malta to recover. After he returned to his unit he went over the top on the 1st of July 1916, at Beaumont Hamel, where he was again wounded, this time being shipped back to England to recover.
He returned to his regiment again and became a Lewis Gunner. The next action he was involved in was the Great German offensive in 1918, at which time he was taken prisoner, spending the rest of the war in a German P.O.W. camp. He survived the war and lived into his mid 80s.

His mother, Mary Bartlett nee Norvell, laid the wreath on behalf of the families of the fallen at the opening of the Penarth War Memorial in 1924. As war approached, the Regiment was recalled from its annual summer camp at Willsworthy to its quarters with the 3rd Division at Devonport, where it mobilised on 4th August. Reservists were recalled on 7th to 9th August & the Regiment proceeded to Southampton, where together with the Connaught Rangers it embarked on SS Henschel and sailed for Boulogne with an escort of 13 cruisers. From Boulogne, the Regiment assembled at Aulnoye & Aymeries, some 20 miles from the Franco-Belgian border. From there, they marched 3 miles to Taisnieres, and had a few days training. On 20th August, they marched towards St Remy, and thence to Bettignes. Moving north from there, they reached Mons, where contact was made on the night of the 22nd with the advancing German forces. Close to Nimy Bridge, the battle of Mons was fought on 23rd August, and sadly Bertie was an early casualty of the war. His remains rest in the British Military Cemetery at Saint Symphorien.
