  That would be the Parachute Regiment you are thinking of. Not the Royal Marines. The units concerned take the distinction a tad seriously as I understand it. Although other units did deliver bayonet charges in that conflict, the marines included. Just not at Goose Green as I understand it....

  Ah, yes - my oops - red/maroon berets, not green/blue(ish) ones ... The guys wearing sand-brown berets, of course do not participate in bayonet charges ......

  Although other units did deliver bayonet charges in that conflict, the marines included. Nope. Standard practice is to assault a position with bayonets fixed, but that's not a "bayonet charge" (think Camerone as commemorated by the Legion Etrangere) no matter what Wikipedia says :) Fixing bayonets is sensible practise - relying on them for anything other than immediate action while reloading is lunacy....

  Woo, finally they put up a preorder form. One signed edition preordered, thank you :)...

  Ah well - not your fault, but your publishing house tried to charge me for this preorder 6 months in advance. No thanks, I just canceled it. Guess I'll have to live with ebook editions :)...
