Corrected entry: When asked whether he had a gun, Cillian Murphy says he had a .303. As an officer (his shoulder strap shows the insignia of a British Second Lieutenant), he would have carried a pistol but not a rifle. It was not until later in the war that British officers began to carry weapons other than sidearms, and even then it was usually SMGs and not rifles.

Corrected entry: Commander Bolton addresses the rear-admiral by his full rank. In fact, he would undoubtedly just address him as "Admiral", the courteous form of address for all flag officers.
Correction: A rear-admiral can be referred to as such. It is not technically incorrect.

Correction: With all the fighting he could have easily run out of ammo for his pistol (or lost the pistol) and picked up a .303 to continue fighting. Saying he had a .303 is not the same as claiming he was issued a.303.
