During the first World War Rivers treated many patients that had been shell shocked; at Craiglockhart War Hospital near Endinburgh.

Well liked by most if not all he had an influence on. He was a good doctor, making use of freurdian ideas, which were not well known at the time, and those who had heard of them thought that it was all foolish. First mention in the book- page 3, "Bryce waited for Rivers to finish reading before he spoke again." Importance- Rivers is the main doctor at Craiglockheart hospital. He personally treated Siegfried Sassoon. He is one of the main characters, appearing in almost every scene, talking to the patients.
