Vernon Bartlett was born in Swanage on 30th April 1894. After being educated at Blundell's School, Tiverton, he worked as a journalist for the Daily Chronicle and Picture Post.
Bartlett wrote about Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany and warned against the appeasement policy of Neville Chamberlain and the Conservative government. Bartlett was a harsh critic of the Munich Agreement and afterwards was approached by Richard Acland to stand as an anti-Chamberlain candidate at a by-election in Bridgwater. Bartlett agreed and in November, 1938, surprisingly won the previously safe Tory seat and became a member of the House of Commons.
