In the last post I asked for ideas about the above French uniform , thanks to everyone who tried to help. Here are some of the pictures/photos I've come across over the last couple of days searching the internet .
Similar and the hat might be the same , it's of a French Zouave taken about the time of the First World War.
Again the hat is similar although the jacket is different
Again French Zouaves during WW1 , the hat is being worn in different shapes as the individual wants.
Not a very good illustration but shows the variety of uniforms worn by the Zouave Regiments during WW1 .
A model of a WW1 Zouave . So my best guess is a member of a French Algerian Zouave Regiment about the time of the First World War
Well spotted!
