The 95th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army in the American Civil War. They are also known as Gosline's Zouaves based on the fact that these brave men wore an "americanized" zouave uniform which consisted of: a dark blue zouave jacket with red, scarlet, or crimson cuffs and a thin line of red, scarlet, or crimson down the center of the coat, a dark blue kepi with a thin scarlet band around the kepi, tan gaiters, a dark blue vest, and a pair of sky blue trousers. Originally the trousers of the 95th were brick red or scarlet, but in 1864 they were given the federal sky blue trousers instead. Sadly, they turned in their scarlet pants, scarlet trimed kepis, and tan gaiters, but the jacket, and vest still remained, and they wore the zouave jacket, and vest up until their regiment was mustered out at the end of the war.
