When I was a soldier the part of the webbing which held the bayonet was a frog. I assume this is the connection.

Thanks everyone. I just googled 'frogs sword-holder' and the answer became clear, although I don't think a bayonet is a sword, is it?

I did explain that this was a connection, since modern soldiers don't go to war carrying swords. The bayonet is an attachment which turns a rifle into a sword.
