Mistakes

Steel helmets were introduced into the British Army in 1916. After their introduction no soldier would have gone into the front line, and certainly not over the top, in a peaked cap, as several of the soldiers do (the film is set in 1917). See more...

When Quinn has just killed Sgt. Tate there are several close-up shots of Friedrich tied to a pole. He appears to have his head up and watching what's going on. When we see Quinn and Shakespeare arguing, he's in the background with his head to one side and looks completely lifeless. [He's a supernatural being. He's neither dead nor alive, just pretending to be at various times.]

The rifles the soldiers carry towards the end of the film are not really the Lee Enfield rifles that the British army carried. The rifles they carry have long muzzles, instead of the stubby one on the Enfield. [The rifles seen at the end of the film are German Mausers, not Lee-Enfields. The soldiers presumably found them in the trench.]

The soldiers were from the 7th division, so how come they all had IXI on their shoulders, which isn't even a proper roman numeral? [Still a mistake, but for the wrong reason - the badge is in fact for the 9th Lancers (IXL), not a complete Roman numeral, but they have all been put on the tunics upside-down.]
