  Active between 1884 and 1956, the regiment was one of the most decorated of the French Army. The regiment had a distinguished record during World War I, being cited six times. It was decorated with the Légion d'honneur during World War II, as part of the 3rd Algerian Infantry Division. During the Italian campaign, it served with the French Expeditionary Corps under General Alphonse Juin, and was cited four times at the orders of the armed forces.
context_section_description: From its establishment in 1884 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the 4th Tunisian Tirailleurs wore the zouave style uniform of the Algerian tirailleurs. The distinguishing feature of the Tunisian regiment were light blue tombeaus (false pockets) on the front of their blue and yellow vestes (short jackets). Complete with red fezzes and waist sashes, this North African style of clothing was reintroduced for parade and off-duty wear in 1932. On other occasions the standard khaki service dress of the Army of Africa was usually worn.
