The last major bayonet charge in American history was led by a man who once deserted the Army for the crime of being too eager to go to war.
Lewis Millett, called Red for his hair and his temper, was a born fighter in the best and strangest sense. Back before Pearl Harbor, when he was a young American soldier and it looked like the United States might sit out the fight against the Nazis, he could not stand it. So he did something almost nobody would believe. He walked away from the US Army, crossed into Canada, and joined the Canadian forces just so he could get into the war sooner.
He ended up fighting anyway in North Africa and Italy. The Army eventually caught up with the paperwork and actually court martialed him for desertion, fined him a few dollars, and then, because the man could obviously fight, turned right around and made him an officer. Only Red Millett could get punished for deserting toward the enemy and promoted for it in the same breath.
Ten years later he was a captain in Korea, commanding Easy Company of the 27th Infantry, the outfit they called the Wolfhounds. On February 7, 1951, his men ran into a dug in enemy force on a hill near Soam-ni and one of his platoons got pinned down flat under heavy fire.
Millett did not call for artillery and wait. He grabbed a second platoon, pushed forward to the pinned men, pulled them all together, and gave an order most soldiers in that war never heard. Fix bayonets. Then he stood up and led them straight up the hill on foot, screaming at them to follow, running into the enemy with cold steel.
He bayoneted men. He clubbed them. He threw grenades and kept climbing, roaring encouragement the whole way, dragging his company up the slope by sheer force of will. Grenade fragments tore into his leg and he refused to stop, refused to be carried off, until the hill was taken.
When it was over, of the enemy dead on that hill, around twenty had been killed by bayonet. A military historian who studied it called it the most complete bayonet charge by American troops since the Civil War. The place got a new name that stuck. Bayonet Hill.
President Truman hung the Medal of Honor around his neck that summer. Red Millett went on soldiering for decades and lived a long life, the man who led America's last great bayonet charge, who had loved the fight so much he once deserted just to find it.
