Book excerpt: The bayonet is an essential item of a soldier's kit even on today's modern hi-tech battlefield. This work examines the origins of this humble weapon and the 'cult of the bayonet' as espoused by the Russian General Alexander Suvorov who asserted that The bullet misses, the bayonet does not. The first bayonets appeared in France in the early 17th century and soon they were being used by every army in Europe. The author examines the spread of this simple weapon and how it led to fundamental changes being made in battlefield tactics. Over 300 years later, in the age of hi-tech warfare and weapons of mass destruction, the bayonet is still in service with armies around the world. British and US forces in Afghanistan regularly have their bayonets fixed. Fix Bayonets illustrates how tactics changed and the design of the weapon, although fundamentally the same, has evolved over the centuries.Much myth and legend surrounds the subject of bayonet charges and the weapon has become an icon of defiance and the determination to do whatever it takes to win. The author examines evidence for the reality of such actions. How did the ordinary soldier feel to be told 'fix bayonets'? John Norris draws on personal accounts of soldiers using bayonets in combat from the Napoleonic and Crimean Wars, various Colonial campaigns, through the World Wars, Falklands War and into the 21st century in Afghanistan. In so doing he explains the seemingly anachronistic survival of this simple weapon on the modern battlefield.

Excerpt: ...who seek to simplify the art by cutting down the number, and therefore the variety, of the defensive movements. Backsword (Obs.). A sword with a broad back, edge, and short false edge, so called in contradistinction, to the "shearing " sword, which had both edges sharp from hilt to point; it was the favourite arm of the "gladiators" of the eighteenth century. Assault. Assaut (Fr.). Assalto (It.). 'The exercise with blunt weapons, representing in every respect a combat with sharps, in which we execute at will all the manoeuvres of the fencing lessons. (See Beat.) Basket. (See Bucket.) Originally this protection for the hand was made of wicker work, not only in England, but also, according to Diderot and Chatelain, in France, down to the early part of this century. Basket-hilt. A close sword-hilt, like that of the Highland broadsword. The term "half-basket," used to be applied to a hilt somewhat resembling that of the modern sabre. Battement (Fr.). Battuta (It.). Bayonet-fencing (Fr.). The art of attack and defence with the rifle and fixed bayonet, in which everything--point, edge, and butt--are brought into play. Beat. A light, lateral blow given to the opponent's weapon in order to force an opening. Bersaglio (It.). An opening. Binding. A method of forcing an opening, sometimes called "Flanconnade," where the opponent holds his sword horizontally and his arm straight, formed by opposing his foible in "quarte" with your forte, circling your blade round his, but without quitting it, and pressing his point to your right, your own sword assuming the position of "seconde" or "octave.' When, however, in attempting this bind, you find your forte opposed to his forte instead of his...

They tell the tale of an American lady of notable good works, much esteemed by the French, who, at the end of June, 1918, visited one of the field-hospitals behind Degoutte's Sixth French Army. Degoutte was fighting on the face of the Marne salient, and the 2d American Division, then in action around the Bois de Belleau, northwest of Chateau Thierry, was under his orders. It happened that occasional casualties of the Marine Brigade of the 2d American Division, wounded toward the flank where De goutte's own horizon-blue infantry joined on, were picked up by French stretcher-bearers and evacuated to French hospitals. And this lady, 'looking downa long, crowded ward, saw on a pillow a face unlike the fiercely whiskered Gallic heads there displayed in rows. She went to it.
