How To Congratulate Someone That Just Had A Baby

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.

The first battalion was formed and called "battalion of sharpshooters native of Algiers and Titteri " in 1831. parallel, a Turkish company Oran is created. Similarly Yusuf Bey up to a battalion Bone .
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.




To be held: a Constantine Mostaganem and the soldiers were wearing blue will stay later. A Algiers, General Bugeaud fixed holding the same cup as other battalions but green (color of the commander of thinking sensibly encourage enlistments ). The green dress is shown in the illustration follows.

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!
I added this gouache of a native officer, can not say it enough, if a body of colonial society offers little more than equal to the natives, c ' is the army or the beginning of the conquest of men will see the same officers general officers ( Yusuf ).

A High Hard Cirvex Means What

sarrouel The Zouave 1848

few years ago I had the chance to buy a sarrouel Zouaves dated 1848. Here i some pictures of the object. It has three buttons size, a single fly. All are covered with red cloth. Originally he had blue braid along side seams legs. These have been removed. At that time some of sarrouels is not yet equipped with blue braid, since the generalization to all regiments in 1852. The lining

is very special but typical fabrications of the Second Empire, it is made of canvas shirt, unbleached cotton, with a blue stripe. It is buffered 1-48, ie the first half of 1848, and regimental rights. Below 3 and Z for the regiment of course. On the other side of the fly again reminded the regiment 3 and Z. The general section is not very different from a manufacturing third republic, cons by the magnitude of the pants is lower and corresponds to a user closer to the body of the first half nineteenth century! Does not correspond to modern sizes, it was extended at the waist by a costumer! We can see the room added between the loops of cord size.
