At the end of their 3 year terms they had almost 100% re-enlistment. Three members of the regiment, Edward Browne, James Evans, and Charles E. Moore, were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. At Gettysburg, Andersons Zouaves successfully counterattacked against the Confederate advance on Little Round Top, with the rest of their brigade, and recaptured two lost guns in the process, all after a forced march of 32 miles. A monument honoring the 62nd NY stands north of the Wheat Field Road near Plum Run at the Battlefield of Gettysburg.

Company A was recruited almost entirely from French veterans of the Crimean War. As part of a display of their heritage, they selected a uniform that consisted of a complete Algerian Zouave ensemble consisting of a red fez, a dark blue zouave jacket trimmed in red, and baggy red pantaloons fitted into white gaiters.
