First World War

Sir Walter Balfour Barttelot, 3rd Baronet, DSO (22 March 1880 – 23 October 1918) was of the Barttelot Baronetcy and grandson of Sir Walter Barttelot, 1st Baronet.[1] The Barttelots resided at "At Ford", in the parish of Stopham Sussex.[2][3]

Early life and military career

Barttelot was born at The Manor, Sidmouth on 22 March 1880. He was educated at Fonthill, East Grinstead and Eton College.[4]

He then attended the

Sir Walter George Barttelot, 2nd Baronet, was killed in action during the Boer War.[6][7] He transferred to the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards on 12 February 1901, returning to the United Kingdom with them in October 1902.[4][8] The 3rd baronet received the Queen's South Africa Medal with six clasps and the King's South Africa Medal with two.[4][9] He married Gladys St. Aubyn Angove, daughter of William Collier Angove, on 17 November 1903.[6]

First World War

Mentioned in Despatches four times.[27]

He had come to know Gertrude Bell during his time in Tehran, and in a letter to her mother on 25 October 1918, she wrote:

A terrible tragedy has happened at Tehran [(Teheran)]. I think I must have written to you about the Military Attach‚, Sir Walter Barttelot, with whom I used to ride at Gulhak before breakfast. He was also our host on the night expedition into the hills which I described to you. He has been murdered in his bed by a jealous husband - I know no details but I profoundly believe that there was nothing in the whole business but wicked Tehran gossip. The wife in question, Mrs Maclaren, left Tehran a month ago and passed through here on her way to England. I didn't see her in Baghdad, partly because I was having influenza at the time and other partly because, though I had seen very little of her at Gulhak, I thought her Class B lady and had no special wish to renew the acquaintance. Also she had quarrelled with the Marlings, the wrong quite on her side, as far as I could see, and I didn't want to be mixed up in any dissensions. It's a truly shocking business. Sir Walter had a wife in England and a boy at Eton, about both of whom he used to talk to me continuously. He was a nice, pleasant, not particularly brilliant British landowner; we made rather friends, just because he was the sort of man I knew at home - at least that was my feeling about him. He was not well suited in his Tehran job and was longing to get away. I told the C.G.S. this when I came back, a successor was found for him, and he would have probably have been back in England before the end of the year. Oh dear, I'm so sorry for his wife and boy. Maclaren I thought a dreadful man - class W, if not Z. He is a consul.[28]

Family

Barttelot was survived by his wife and two sons. The eldest son, Sir Walter de Stopham Barttelot, 4th Baronet, was killed in action as a

Naval Attaché in Rome, on 30 April 1920.[33]

Barttelot's brother,

Battle of Heligoland Bight.[4][34]

Legacy

Barttelot Road, in Horsham West Sussex, takes its name from the family.[35]
