Fact 1Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables, was a family friend and dedicated her book, Rainbow Valley, to Morley Roy Shier as well as two other local soldiers who lost their lives in WW I.
Fact 1On October 3, 1911, Montgomery as Mrs. Ewan MacDonald was introduced as the minister’s new wife and honoured with a reception dinner at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Three of the families she met that evening – The Shiers, the Brookses and the Lapps – would never have expected to be mentioned in her books. Catherine* and James Shier’s farm was located a few acres away from the Leaskdale Church. They had three children in 1911: Mabel was nineteen; Morley, sixteen, was a student at Uxbridge High School; and Harvey was nine.

The sons [of the three families] would have known the MacDonald’s for only a few years, but their families and relations became friends especially the younger siblings because they grew up during the fourteen years that Montgomery created and directed the Young People’s Association.

Morley Roy Shier knew “Mrs. Mac” for about two years before he left to attend the University of Toronto’s teacher-preparation program. Bob Brooks was in Ewan’s congregation for about 6 years before he enlisted. Gordie Lapp was at home foe only a year before leaving to work and study pharmacy. They joined three different military units at different times between 1915 and 1917. These three young men represent the sacrifices that small communities all over Canada invested in the world conflict. Montgomery planned, wrote and revised Rainbow Valley during the final years of the war, from 1917 to 1918. Montgomery penned the dedication to the pilot Morley Shier and the two soldiers Bob Brookes and Gordie Lapp, when she finished the Rainbow Valley manuscript in late December 1918, three months after the death of the last casualty, Flight Lieutenant Shier.

Several Shier family members were Montgomery’s friends, including Morley’s cousin, Mary Shier McLeod. Readers of Montgomery’s journals will recall Morley’s uncle, Dr. Walter Columbus Shier, who was a physician in Leaskdale and Uxbridge. Dr. Shier attended the MacDonald family and was the first doctor to treat Ewan’s depression. Another uncle was Rob Shier** who lived in Zephyr; his third wife was Lillis Harrison (Lily Reid), Montgomery’s household helper from 1912 to 1915 and a trusted friend throughout Montgomery’s life.

Morley was a teacher first at Corson’s Siding, northeast of Leaskdale and then at Earl Grey School in Toronto. Shortly after Montgomery began work on Rainbow Valley, Morley stared pilot training. He went to England in May 1918, after basic flight training, to learn combat and reconnaissance skills at the British advanced flying schools. He was assigned to the 256th Royal Air force Squadron formed in June 1918 at Seahouses, Northumberland. The squadron did coastal surveillance for German submarines and flew two-seater Canadian built de Havilland DH-6 planes, with a range of about four hours of flight. One of the many nicknames for the DH-6 was “the Flying Coffin”.

Shier became an active RFC pilot in June 1918 at the age of twenty-three. About one-quarter of the RFC squadron crews were Canadian. Most RFC combat pilots survived an average of about three weeks once they began their combat flights. Although reconnaissance pilots were not exposed to enemy fire as often as combat pilots, the risk to them was still significant; they were not armed but could carry bombs, and parachutes were not allowed because they were too heavy.

After two months of flying, Flight Lieutenant Shier and his plane went down in the fog in the North Sea on Sept 6, 1918 about twenty miles from shore. Montgomery did not hear of Morley’s death until a month later, three days before Germany and Austria agreed to peace in October 1918.Shier’s name is on the Hollybrook Memorial in Southampton, England, erected by the Imperial Ware Graves Commission with the names of those lost at sea. Members of the Shier family placed a marker in the cemetery at Leaskdale and a plaque in the church to honour him at home.

Fact 1On July, 25, 2017, the Royal Canadian Air Force featured Morley Roy Shier in their Profile of Courage series

By Major Bill March
Born in Scott Township, near Leaskdale, Ontario, on December 4, 1894, Morley Roy Shier attended school in Leaskdale and Uxbridge before embarking on a career as a teacher. He had accepted a position at the Earl Grey School in Toronto when he made the decision to enlist, and on November 15, 1917, he joined the Royal Flying Corps. 
After completing his training at various Royal Flying Corps (Canada) establishments in Canada and the United States, Second Lieutenant Shier was commissioned as a pilot in the newly formed Royal Air Force (RAF) in April 1918. A month later, he was in England, where he would spend the next few months completing his advanced training. In July, he was posted to No. 256 Squadron and stationed at the village of Seahouses on the Northumberland coast in northeast of England.
The squadron operated two-seater Airco DeHavilland 6 (DH6) aircraft in coastal and anti-submarine patrol roles. Underpowered, the DH6 could not accommodate both bombs and an observer, so patrols were often flown solo by the pilot, thus permitting a small weapons load to be carried. 
On September 6, 1918, a relatively foggy day, Flight Lieutenant Shier took off in DH6 C5172 on a North Sea patrol. For reasons unknown, the aircraft ditched in the sea about 32 kilometres (20 miles) offshore. His body was never located and he was presumed to have drowned.
News of his death did not become general knowledge back home until October. Family friend and writer, Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, noted in her diary that “On Tuesday came word of the death of Morley Shier, a fine young fellow from our church… .” In January 1919, she dedicated her latest novel, Rainbow Valley, to the three members of her community who were killed in the war. The inscription reads, “To the memory of Goldwin Lapp, Robert Brookes and Morley Shier, who made the supreme sacrifice that the happy valleys of their home might be kept sacred from the ravage of the invader.”
Because his body was never recovered, Flight Lieutenant Shier is commemorated on the Hollybrook Memorial in Hampshire, England. He was 23.
