The report does not say that they killed the 35 bad guys with bayonets, it says they were in an engagment where 35 Ayrabs were killed and during which the Scots mounted a bayonet charge.

The British use that stubby little bullpup rifle which I wouldn't think would be very satisfactory for bayonet work.

OK, that makes sense.
