Date | Original Topic | 20th July 2001 | Bayonet's breaking !!!!! By Michael George Hi,
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? | Date | Replies | 8th August 2001 | Stephen McDonald George
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?
