"Cold steel ... they don't like it up 'em"
The Argylls distinguished themselves in Aden in the 60s too.

Do the Brits still use the SLR automatic rifle? As I recall they're not exactly optimized for bayonet combat. I wonder how many of them needed replacing after that engagement.

Nice bayonet work! It is a fearsome thing to behold, according to historians.

5 to 1 kill ratio with bayonets. Geez.
Is it just me or is the average non-allied soldier just a complete failure in soldiering?

Good for the Argylls! These Muslims have such an affinity for knives to cut people's heads off ... let's see how THEY like it.
I think we should have all our soldiers affix their Bayonets and leave MORE insurgents dead and dying in the streets.
Aye, that's the ticket laddie!

---After radioing for back-up, they fixed bayonets and charged at 100 rebels using tactics learned in drills. ---
Very counterintuitive.

Outstanding. Reminds me of the South Koreans in Vietnam. Put them in helicopters and, "Okay, are YOU ready to talk?". The troops known for showing fierce resolve in battle are not soon meddled with thereafter. Let's see how history plays out. I'll bet those units aren't ambushed much anymore.

Apparently the islamofascists brought guns to a knife fight - and still lost big time! Jolly good show laddies!
