@Slumpnasty "Toujours Pret" was the motto of the 9th New York, Hawkins Zouaves, 1861-1863. The combat record of the American Zouaves on the whole was good and well preserved, however like all units in all armies there are some good and some bad.

@NewYorkZouave Toujour Pret is the motto for the 2nd ACR, I think...anyway, did the (Union) Zouaves have a good combat record, or did they just look cool?

Of the 2 rebel zouaves in this vid,i assume you mean one of them in Gray towards the end of this vid??. Cause that particular gray zouave is a Union zouave of the 11th NY Fire zouaves(1861 early war)
