Or May 14, 2004 in Iraq. SGT MAJ Dave Falconer, gave that order to 'fix bayonets'. Brits still gots some testicular fortitude.

I remember reading a detailed account of one of Millet’s soldiers in that charge. He amazed them and they followed his lead. The witness stated Cpt. Millet bayoneted one Chinese and when he tried retrieving the rifle, the impaled body came back up off the ground. He had to replace the body on the ground and put his foot on the ribcage to dislodge the bayonet with the rifle.
