Bayonet Training 1918

By General Staff and The General Staff

This 1916 booklet - re-issued in 1918 - which details all aspects of bayonet training, bears out Siegfried Sassoon's emphasis on the importance the Army still placed in this simple but trusty weapon. 'The bayonet is an offensive weapon, ' it instructs. 'Go straight at an opponent with the point threatening his throat and deliver the point wherever an opening presents itself.'
