[QUOTE="casper, post: 141571, member: 562"] I remember when i was a "soldier cadet" in my High School Cadet Unit that on special occasions we were issued 303 bayonets from the "Q" Store and amongst them was a rare WWI "crucifix" bayonet. When fitted to the Lee Enfield the blade was horizontal and not the regular verticle configuration. I recall being told that it was for close quarter trench fighting - ie you didn't need to lift your elbow to turn the rifle and blade to slip the tip between the opponents ribs. That's all i know about bayonets.... casper [/QUOTE]
