Description: Four rangers horseback. My cousin Sidney Hutchinson is second from the left. He was a ranger twice. When retired, he punched out the "R" on his badge and used it as a watch fob. It then spelled "TEXAS _ANGER". I have his 44.40 rifle today. Badge and pistol somewhere else in the family. Photo taken somewhere in Southwest Texas. I also have his Ranger identification papers.
