Pour la Gloire de la France

The 19th century was full of small and large wars fought by the French Kingdom, Republic and Empire.

This Zouave commander and standard bearer stand fast in one of these many conflicts "Pour la Glorie de la France" (For the Glory of France).

Through shot and shell, vs European enemies or in colonial conflicts, the Tricolor was the symbol of the empire of the nation of France during the Victorian Age. Vive la France!

The Zouaves are 25mm metal pieces from Heritage that I painted in the 1980's for my colonial wars French Army. They were actually designed by Heritage as American War Between the States, Union or Confederate Zouave troops.
