I had some experience of successful mounted surprise attacks on the Boer camps in the South African war. — Donald Cameron letter written in 1928 to Dr. C. E. W. Bean, official Australian historian When the possibility of a charge by mounted infantry riding home, was raised in the Australian Mounted Division's Preliminary Instruction No. 1 (dated 26 October 1917); it suggested the bayonet was equal to the sword as a weapon for mounted attack "if used as a sword for pointing only".
Jeg havde nogen erfaring med vellykkede beredne overraskelsesangreb på boernes lejre under krigen i Sydafrika. — Donald Cameron brev skrevet i 1928 til Dr. C. E. W. Bean, officiel australsk historiker Da muligheden for et angreb med beredent infanteri blev nævnt i den beredne australske divisions Preliminary Instruction No. 1 (dateret 26. oktober 1917); lagde den op til at bajonetten var lige så god som sværdet som et våben ved beredent angreb "hvis den kun bruges som et sværd til at støde med".
