Anderson Zouave?

Brendan Hamilton contacted the Research site recently, with a photograph of a zouave sergeant and asked if we thought he might be an Anderson Zouave. After discussing it with fellow researcher, John Tierney, we are fairly sure that the uniform does conform to the Line Company uniform of the Anderson Zouaves. I have contacted the original poster (on Pintrest) for any information they may have. Hopefully they have some identification for this photograph.

John Tierney remarks:

“Wow. Could be. You must recall that we have seen photos before of AZs with no waistcoat for line companies. Do you know who it is?

Sky blue sash. Blue tassel. Light blue trousers (less full than the Z/I company).

Also those deep angular chevrons on the sleeve.

Also check his left hip – there is a hint of a white stripe.”
