TF015 “Fix Bayonets!”

During this conflict, the humble but very sharp bayonet came once more to the front when British troops on several occasions ‘fixed bayonets’ and charged the enemy most notably when 3 PARA attacked Argentine positions during the Battle of Mount Longdon on the 11/12 June 1982.
       Elsewhere, marines from 42 Commando also assaulted defensive outposts on Mount Harriet at the point of their bayonets while other marines from 45 Commando captured Two Sisters.
       This 2-man set shows a British paratrooper from 3 PARA about to inflict a very serious bayonet wound on a very surprised Argentine soldier!
