WWI Army 1917 BAYONET TRAINING MANUAL USED BY BRITISH FORCES Book

Description

WWI 1917 Book
BAYONET TRAINING MANUAL
USED BY BRITISH FORCES
Van Nostrand's Military Manuals
Used during WWI, the official Bayonet Training Manual goes beyond teaching how to handle a bayonet. It applies philosophical discipline to strengthen the soldier’s character so that he will be able to act in the direst of situations.
A bayonet is used as a weapon of last resort, so a soldier must remain calm and in control even in the muddy trenches, when out of ammunition and a few steps away from the enemy. Though he might know how to thrust and parry, the soldier’s mental strength alone is what will keep him alive.
