For the Ted Hughes poem, see <a href="/wiki/Bayonet_Charge_(poem)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bayonet Charge (poem)">Bayonet Charge (poem)</a>.</div> <p>The development of the bayonet from the 17th century onwards led to the bayonet <a href="/wiki/Charge_(warfare)" title="Charge (warfare)">charge</a> becoming the main infantry tactic throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century. The British Army under Wolesley, the later Duke of Wellington, evolved its tactics to adopt the "Volley and Bayonet Charge" from the earlier "Highland Charge" tactic of Highland regiments under his command. These proto "fire and maneuver" tactics were first introduced to the British Army by the 42nd Highlanders (Black Watch) at Fontenoy in 1745 although, they had been used by their antecedents, (The Independent Highland Watch Companies) prior to that. As early as the 19th century, military scholars were already noting that most bayonet charges did not result in <a href="/wiki/Close_combat" class="mw-redirect" title="Close combat">close combat</a>. Instead, one side usually fled before actual bayonet fighting ensued. The act of fixing bayonets has been held to be primarily connected to morale, the making of a clear signal to friend and foe of a willingness to kill at close quarters.<sup id="cite_ref-firingline_42-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-firingline-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The bayonet charge was above all a tool of shock. While charges were reasonably common in 18th and 19th century warfare, actual combat between formations with their bayonets was so rare as to be effectively nonexistent. Usually, a charge would only happen after a long exchange of gunfire, and one side would break and run before contact was actually made. Sir Charles Oman, nearing the end of his history of the <a href="/wiki/Peninsular_War" title="Peninsular War">Peninsular War</a> (1807–1814) in which he had closely studied hundreds of battles and combats, only discovered a single example of, in his words, "one of the rarest things in the Peninsular War, a real hand-to-hand fight with the white weapon." Infantry melees were much more common in close country – towns, villages, earthworks and other terrain which reduced visibility to such ranges that hand-to-hand fighting was unavoidable. These melees, however, were not bayonet charges per se, as they were not executed or defended against by regular bodies of orderly infantry; rather, they were a chaotic series of individual combats where musket butts and fists were used alongside bayonets, swords, and polearms.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Napoleonic_wars">Napoleonic wars</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bayonet&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Napoleonic wars"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg/220px-Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="174" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg/330px-Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg/440px-Gro%C3%9Fbeeren_1813.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3543" data-file-height="2809" /></a><figcaption>A bayonet charge during the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Gro%C3%9Fbeeren" title="Battle of Großbeeren">Battle of Großbeeren</a> (1813)</figcaption></figure> <p>The bayonet charge was a common tactic used during the <a href="/wiki/Napoleonic_wars" class="mw-redirect" title="Napoleonic wars">Napoleonic wars</a>.
