Uncommon Valor

Nikolai:
The last recorded bayonet charge was September 28th, 2012.

Ah, this reminds me of one of the more treasured stories of the ANZAC tradition, from the Gallipoli landings, Simpson and his Donkey.

And that was definitely an awesome horse. *Doffs cap respectfully to the memory*

Akima:
Yes, I too thought of Simpson and his donkey. China disbanded its last cavalry brigade in 1985, I think, but the border guards (who are technically police rather than soldiers) still ride ponies out in the Wild West where China blurs into Central Asia, and the sand blows in from the desert. The steppe horsemen have just traded in their composite bows for assault-rifles. (click to show/hide)
