Great picture, Paula. And, I believe, there is his "brand new silver watch just given him by "C" troop"......loved that part....his getting someone to read it for him almost every time, LOL!
From a vintage still in my collection.

One more...sorry about the gunk on John Wayne's face. It's stuck there and I can't get it off without damaging the photo.

Dear Lasbugas,
Funny you should post that. Or should I say, serendipity.
I just obtained another, better vintage copy of this that is just like the one you posted... so, you just saved me having to post it! 
I also got a better (vintage) copy of the funeral scene that does not have anything obstructing John Wayne's face and I will get around to scanning that and posting it eventually.

Hard question, I always thought there was more to be seen from Dukes character in "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon". He retires, he goes west, what adventures await him?? Just a thought.
-
Didn't he rejoin the army as a scout though at the end

he did rejoin the army a bad ending,the ending should have been when he was riding out west,my opinion

Yeah I totally agree ringo, it seemed needlessly sentimental and tacked on, no idea what Ford was thinking with that one.

I remember him rejoining as a scout but I thought he was riding away. Gees, I have to break it out and watch it again. I hate getting old!! HAHAHAHA!! -

This is from our opening post'This was one of the performances which Wayne was proudest of for the rest of his life,
although he maintained that Ford made a mistake in not concluding the film with Brittles
retiring from the Army and riding off into the sunset.
Instead, Ford insisted on tacking on a less bittersweet ending,
with Brittles recalled back into the cavalry and given a promotion.'So indeed it was intended he retired

That ending also removes the need for a sequal. We know what kind of man the character is, we know he is married to the service... Maybe Ford saw the posibility for another story with the other ending, but had no interest in persuing that....

My latest She Wore a Yellow Ribbon acquisition.
We've all seen this photo before, but I really like this tinted version -- and it has Ben Johnson's autograph! -
