The Zouaves, known for their daring bayonet charges, were a prominent force during the French occupation of Morocco in 1907. They guarded the main entrance to Oujda, ensuring the city's security. In their downtime, these soldiers enjoyed sipping on Absinthe Mugnier, a popular drink of the time. Their bravery and adventurous spirit were celebrated in various forms of art and literature. The Alphabet of Wild Animals featured E F G: Elephant, Faisan dore (Golden Pheasant), Gazelle, Gobe-mouches (Flycatcher) - all representing different aspects of nature that fascinated them. During World War I in Belgium on April 24th, 1915, soldiers from a French Zouave regiment fought valiantly between Lizarne and Boesinghe. Their heaven-born banner symbolized their unwavering loyalty to France. In an engraving titled "Alphabet, " published by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre in Paris on November 15th, 1875; Letter Z showcased animals like Zephir (a mythical creature), Zulu (a warrior tribe), Zebre (zebra) alongside a proud depiction of a Zouave soldier. Similarly, another engraving from "Alphabet francais" depicted Yacht and Yack under Letter Y while showcasing Yatagan and Zouaves under Letter Z - highlighting their diverse interests beyond military life. One historical event that marked their legacy was the conquest of Algeria. A bivouac de zouaves de l'armee francaise sous le command du General Bugeaud au la revolt d'Abd el-Kader took place in June 1836 as part of this campaign. Their iconic image continued to inspire artists over time with chromolithography portraying a vibrant scene featuring zebras alongside proud-looking Zouave soldiers in 1890.
