I have read that at the battle's of Isandlwana, and at Rorke's Drift, troops bayonet's broke off their rifles, is this true?

This is the first I've heard bayonets being broken in battle. I've seen the Martini-Henry Mark 11 bayonets and doubt that they would brake. Perhaps I'm wrong. Anyone else know?
