United Parish Magazine, Witley section, November 1917:
Two more honours have been won by Witley men.  Major Cyril Bartlett has received from the King the Military Cross and Private George Henderson Cook has been awarded the Military Medal.

United Parish Magazine, Witley section, December 1917:
With deep regret we record the death of Major Cyril Bartlett, M.C., Sussex Regiment on November 14th, of wounds received the previous day.  He was for a time a private in the R.A.M.C, being attached to Lady Dudley’s Hospital, but afterwards joined the combatant ranks, where his merits won him rapid promotion.  He was home on leave only a short time ago, and received the Military Cross from the King’s hands.  Many will remember him with affection, and all will sympathize with his family and regret that a life of such promise has been cut short.

A photograph of Major Cyril Bartlett of Witley can be found in Berrow’s Worcester Journal Supplement, Saturday 15th December 1917, available at Worcestershire Archives.
