    GEORGE MORLEY FIDLER 1912-1940 the Life and Death of A

    GEORGE MORLEY FIDLER 1912-1940 The life and death of a brave airman from Great Ayton The War Memorial at Christ Church records seventeen Great Ayton men who lost their lives in the Second World War. Among them is the name of G M Fidler. In 2005, the Great Ayton Parish Council received a letter from the Mayor of Bachy, a small village near Lille in Northern France. He wondered if there was any information about Squadron Leader G M Fidler, who is the only British serviceman to be buried in their village cemetery. Subsequent research in Great Ayton, and a visit to Bachy, brought to light the tragic story of George Morley Fidler. Morley Fidler was born at Roseberry House, on Guisborough Road, Great Ayton, in 1912. His father was a builder and property developer who had bought land in the village; he built their family house “Canobie” (now 45 Addison Road) at the top of the Chapel Steps. Morley had an elder brother and sister, the twins Harold and Joan. Joan became a radiographer and worked at Kepwick Hall, which was in use as a military hospital. Joan contracted a serious illness there and died in April 1940, just a month before her younger brother’s death. Harold survived the war, but passed away while sleeping in front of the kitchen range at 45 Addison Road in 1973. George Morley was known as Morley, probably to distinguish him from his father, George. Morley was educated at the British School and then at the Friends’ School. As a young man (pictured left) he joined the family business for a few years, but his real passion was for flying, and in 1934 he joined the Royal Air Force.
