Turcos

Some representations of sharpshooters in the early days of conquest. The first represents the ancestor of Turcos the Kouloughli . Those are mestizos that the Turks have had with indigenous women. Before the conquest they formed a large part of the infantry in the Turkish garrisons. Leaving the latter they are generally rallied to the French, often to avoid the vengeance of Arab and Kabyle. The outfit he are is not uniform but we can see that milk them inspire the future held "Turkish" which will definitely arrested in 1852 for the creation of the regiment! Their weaponry is flint, from stocks most unfashionable of the time, 1777 or the year IX! O nly the pouch is provided by the state, and often the Kouloughli prefers indigenous manufacture of lighter.

In 1833, a Turkish company Mostaganem born, and a battalion of Constantine
Decree 1837 of 07 December 1841 created three battalions of infantry natives. The first includes the old unit Algiers Titteri and a battalion is created Oran and Constantine in the three amalgams all existing companies or battalions.

Here is a watercolor of Captain Marshall shows that keeping Mostaganem, gray cloak with hood replaces the infantry. We note that the equipment is still indigenous manufacturing. Cons by the blue jacket is already welt daffodil, and the red belt! Finally
keeping adopted by creation of the regiment, by order of 14 February 1853 and will not change until 1945!
