Scope and content
Item is a duplicate of a photograph in Thomas Head Raddall's photograph album, 1929-1941. The photograph was taken near the headquarters of the 8th Battalion of the 90th Winnipeg Rifles during the First World War. The headquarters was located near the corner o the woods at the left of the picture. The 8th Battalion had to cover the open ground to the right under heavy machine gun fire where the Germans had occupied an old trench. Thomas Head Raddall's father, Col. Raddall, Sr., personally directed the 8th Battalion's attack. He crossed the road in the photograph and was killed about a quarter-mile past in the open ground to the right.
