Early Years
Bartlett was born in Balaghat, India and moved to England at the age of nine. He captained Dulwich College for three seasons. In 1933 - his last season for the school - he hit two double hundreds in successive weeks and set a Dulwich record of 228 against Mill Hill ( the record stood until 2006, when Arthur Mitchell hit 230* at a lower age group ). He won blues at Cambridge for three years and in 1936 captained them in the Varsity match. After a few matches with Surrey, he settled down as an amateur at Sussex.
