During the latter half of 1939, he led the wooden sailing ship on a voyage through the Mediterranean and into Southern Atlantic waters. On learning of the 1939 invasion of Poland by Nazi forces, ''Iskra'' returned from the Atlantic and left two crew members with the ship in Morocco. Along with the rest of ''Iskra''s crew, Bartosik boarded a French ship and departed for France, where after deliberations between the French Navy's War Department and free Polish forces, he reported as a member of the reserve officer group at the ship-base ORP ''Gdynia'' in Great Britain.
In 1940, he served as a watch keeping officer and deputy gunnery officer aboard the destroyer ORP ''Błyskawica''. During this time, he was instrumental in ''Błyskawica''s downing of two ''Luftwaffe'' aircraft during the Norwegian campaign. He was also in the first crew of the destroyer ORP ''Garland'' where he was a watch keeping officer. After promotion to first lieutenant in 1941 he took over responsibilities of the gunnery officer. In ''Garland'' he participated in action in the Mediterranean and the raid on Spitsbergen involving the evacuation of the Norwegian Royal family; as well as serving in convoys in the Arctic, Atlantic, near Iceland and the Mediterranean. In 1942 he became flag lieutenant to the chief operating officer of the navy. In 1943 he served aboard ''Błyskawica'' as the gunnery officer and participated in Operation ''Neptune''. In 1944 he was promoted captain and returned to the department of the navy. In 1945 he became the gunnery officer of the Polish cruiser ORP ''Conrad''. Bartosik helped to carry Red Cross supplies to Norway and Denmark before ''Conrad'' was returned to the Royal Navy in September 1946. For his actions he was awarded a Virtuti Militari, a Cross of Valour and a British DSC.〔
