105 Rider-Rider’s first major engagement was the Battle of Hill 70, commencing on August 15, 1917. He remembered the chalky terrain decades later, saying the barrage made the August day look like a snowstorm. Though the dust inhibited his ability to take as many battle photographs as he might have wanted, Rider-Rider’s approach was simply to get photographs of other subjects, such as care and transport of the wounded. 14 15 16 17 18 The GreatWar William Rider-Rider, O-1765: 47th Battalion Officer Giving His MenAdvice in Trenches, August 1917, Seaforth Highlanders Regimental Archives, 2018.413.1765.
