The Argylls distinguished themselves in Aden in the 60s too.

An Army spokesman said: “This was an intense engagement.” Gotta love them Scotsmen!

hehe, nothing better than a good fight do the Scots like. I remember a story I read, I think it took place during the battle of Balaklava. The 93rd Highlanders were in Square formation against a unit of Russian Cavalry. The Scots blood was up so much that they broke ranks during the fight and CHASED a Cav unit from the field of battle.
Don't know that I could go home and confess to my loved ones how a man in a "skirt" kicked my fanny lol. I know it's a Kilt, I'm Scottish ancestry myself, so don't get your shorts in a bind :)

I haven't read every post in this thread so this may have been posted already.
The story said that these Brits were in some cars or trucks or something before making their charge. Folks, I think we have seen our first drive-by bayoneting.
What can I say, OUTSTANDING!!!!!

The British are crazy when they smell blood! Ever see the British in a Karate contest?
