Whole regiments at the front are discarding the bayonet. It is impossible to use them at close quarters. So wo go 'back to the knife. "It's the only weapon, nay lads," the military instruetoi declares to his class. "You can't get a German round a narrow trench corner with a bayonet.

It's all in the game!"— Albert Dorringtou in Auckland Star.
