Summary "Bayonet Training Manual Used by the British Forces" by Anonymous is a military instructional publication reprinted from the Infantry Journal in 1917. Written during the early 20th century, this manual serves as a comprehensive guide for training soldiers in the effective use of the bayonet, particularly relevant during World War I. The topics discussed in the book focus on physical drills, tactical applications of the bayonet in combat, and methods to develop mental alertness and fighting spirit among trainees. The content of the manual is methodical and detailed, outlining a series of lessons designed for recruits and seasoned soldiers alike. It emphasizes the importance of practice in developing the necessary skills for effective bayonet fighting, including thrusting techniques, parries, and the use of the rifle in close combat situations. The manual also instructs on creating realistic training environments with dummy targets to simulate actual combat conditions. The focus remains on instilling a sense of aggression and teamwork among soldiers, ensuring they are adequately prepared to face the challenges of trench warfare where bayonet skills are crucial for survival and victory.
