in the use of the bayonet is receiving much attention from all the combatant nations in Europe. The aim of the instruction is twofold:

The bayonet is essentially an offensive weapon—go straight at an opponent with the point threatening his throat and deliver a thrust wherever an opening presents itself. If no opening is obvious, then create one by beating off the opponent’s weapon or making a feint thrust
in order to make him uncover himself.
Hand-to-hand fighting with the bayonet is individual, which means that a man must think and act for himself and rely on his own resources and skill; but, as in games, he must play as one of a team and not for himself alone. In a bayonet assault all ranks go forward to kill or be killed, and only those who have developed skill and strength by
