4e Régiment de Zouaves
« on: February 15, 2014, 12:14:06 am »



History

The 4e Régiment de Zouaves was one of the most decorated regiments
of the French Army during World War I. It won many honours and medals during its service in the Great War.

The 4e Régiment de Zouaves was formed in 1854 from the remains of the Imperial Guard Zouaves.
It took part in the defense of Paris in 1870 during the Franco-Prussia  war. After the conflict, it was sent to Tunisia,
in Tunisia it spent its time garrisoning the city of Tunis.

When the First World War broke out, it was sent to aid the French army in Europe. It was assigned to the
38e Infanterie Division of the 3e Corps. It was stationed in France for the most part
of the war. In 1914, it fought at Charleroi where it was under heavy fire from the Germans. Once it had regrouped,
it pushed forward, on its own, and took the Huterbise Farm during the Battle of Chemin des Dames.

During 1915, it fought hard in the battle of Ypres.

On the 31st of January it left the area Bergues-Quaedypre and fought hard to regain the region of Dunes.
The joy and happiness that followed was to be enjoyed for but a short time. They were moved to Polder
between Dunes Road and Lombaertzyde - Nieuwpoort. Here they were holding the right flank of the army.
They managed to regain control of two regions.

In 1916, it fought hard at Verdun, where it took part in the assault on Hill 304 near Souville. It then
moved to Louvemont and Chambrettes Farm and held strong against wave after wave of German charges
and poison gas attacks. At Verdun, it lost two thirds of its fighting force.

From March 27th to the 31s in 1918, it took its share of battering during the German assault Orvillers-Sorel.
It aided in the defense of the western front and won a 6th honour and won the right to carry the Legion d'Honnuer
on its flag.

After the war, it returned to Tunis where it spent its time recouperating after loosing 9351 officer,
non-commissioned officers and soldiers.
