Re-enlisting in May 1940, he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and served out in East Africa as a Transport Officer between October 1940 and April 1941, attaining the rank of Acting Captain. Rider was discharged in April 1944 but not as a result of a reduction in the military establishment, as stated on his service record.
