Charles Adair, c. late 1920's, ranger, Yosemite National Park. This is a good view of the type of gray wool shirt being worn by the rangers during the twenty's. Courtesy of Virginia Best Adams (Mrs. Ansel Adams)

Forrest Sanford Townsley, 1929, chief ranger, Yosemite National Park. Townsley is wearing yet another variation of the shirt, with pocket flaps. He is also wearing service insignia on his sleeve (16 years). It would be interesting to know if he is also wearing a brassard on his right sleeve, as stated in the regulations. This is the only image found showing a ranger wearing any insignia, other than USNPS, on his shirt. Courtesy of Virginia Best Adams (Mrs. Ansel Adams)
