b. Jun 7, 1902 Sukabumi (Java).
d. Oct 6, 1943 Burma (evidently of malaria while in Japanese internment).
Note: often referred to (incorrectly in my opinion) as "Max Bartels, Jr.".
His father was "Max Bartels", but actually Max Eduard Gottlieb Bartels (1871-1936).
So while the first and the last names are the same, the full names are not the
same as no middle names are given for the son. By my reckoning he is not a "Jr.".
Additionally I note that the taxa he described were published in 1938, after
his father was deceased, so even if he had been referred to as "Jr."
(by himself or others) it is not certain that he would still have been.
This reasoning (such as it is) could be made problematic if, in fact,
his name is listed as "M. Bartels, Jr." in the publications in question (not seen
2009.07.25).

Arras. As brigade observing officer he showed great daring and initiative, pushing
forward at all times withthe most advanced troops under the heaviest fire. Taking
a wire with him, he kept brigade headquarters well informed of the situation, and
enabled the commander to make decisions that saved many lives. When the enemy were
retiring he pushed forward over 500 yards in front of the infantry and telephoned
back information from a long distance in front of our advance. During the two days
he personally killed twenty of the enemy by sniping shots.
1926 married Marjorie Holmes of Arundel, England.
