The Zouaves fought the Prussians and their other German allies outside Orléans, with 15 killed or wounded between the 11th and 12 October 1870, and also engaged the enemy at Patay. Numbering about 1,800 men, the experienced former Papal Zouaves fought with distinction at the Battle of Loigny (2 December 1870) where they lost 216 men while covering the retreat of other French units. The Volontaires were disbanded after the entrance of Prussian troops into Paris.This unit will replace the French zouaves currently in the mod.
The participation of vivandieres and cantinieres in non-French armies remains one of the most under-researched topics in military history. The participation of American women on both sides of the American Civil War as vivandieres is now fairly well known, even if this chapter of history did fade from the public view for a century or more after that war... Less well known, but still very real, women definitely served as vivandieres and cantinieres in the armies of Belgium and many of the German states, and the equivalent of a vivandiere or cantiniere in the Netherlands army was the marketenster. There is also fragmentary evidence that the armies of Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and numerous South American countries also had women serving in these capacities. Likewise, there is evidence that the Russian army had markitantki who apparently fulfilled similar roles.
