    Bayonet obsolete? Not yet, apparently -

    Bayonets can be in todays terms a multi task item. Still good if you want to be quiet. I would want one in the event of being separated from your unit, might come in handy for preparing food or shelter, and a polished blade can signal.

    One earlier post states that 1% of battlefield injuries were with the bayonet. But fatalities were not listed as most bayonet attacks result in death. Most are run through several times. Just something to think about

    Cadet Wing Review Longbranch 1918

    Hello, mostly what was going on at Longbranch in Toronto, many pictures of staff and write ups from each wing. Photos on parade etc. Interesting to read what they thought of the war at the time. The officers are shown with sticks or canes but never a sword. Regards, Will.
