Descrizione:
Used during WWI, the British Forces’ 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. |
