Screenshot from "Canada: A People's History" - This image gives us a good glimpse at what the British bayonet fighting stance was like in the first half of the 18th century. The transition to the present-day stance (where the gun is held at waist level and braced at the hip) came during the Seven Years' War; John Knox from the 43rd of Foot records in his diary when his troops were first taught the new method during the Siege of Quebec in the summer of 1759.
