Claude Alwyn Bartlett was born in Luton, Bedfordshire on 2 July 1895 and entered the Royal Naval Air Service in November 1914, when he was rated a Petty Officer Mechanic. As verified by his service record, he served in Armoured Cars from April 1915 until March 1916, in which period he was ‘slightly wounded in action about 5 September 1915 in the Dardanelles’, while a member of 9th Armoured Car Section. He appears to have been pensioned ashore on his return to the U.K. Sold with copied service papers and copied reseach.
