chasseurs
A French word signifying “hunters,” applied in various forms to light troops in the French service, organized at different times, either as infantry or cavalry, as chasseurs à pied, de Montague, de Vincennes, for infantry, and chasseurs à cheval, d’Afrique, Algeriens, etc., for cavalry. They have organizations in other armies also corresponding to these, such as the jägers in the Austrian army, and the cacciatore dei Alpi of the Garibaldian troops in the Italian war of 1859-60.
