William Rider-Rider documents wounded arriving at a Canadian Field Dressing Station during the Battle of Amiens. August 8-12, 1918 LAC MIKAN 3397055 #warphotos #FWW ππΌππΌ 
Rider-Rider's photographs from July 1918 represent a regression to the static behind-the-lines documentary photographs Harry Knobel had taken in 1916. They show us subjects like distinguished visits, the dentist and men getting haircuts.
Completely reminiscent of Harry Knobel's photographs showing us camp cooks and soldiers at rest billets.
It is a little interesting that Rider-Rider doesn't seem to have taken any photos between the end of July and the beginning of the Battle of Amiens (August 8). Only with hindsight can we now tell he was probably waiting for the Big Show.
