The King's Man (2021)

Factual error: Conrad's rank badges as a second lieutenant are oval Garter Stars. This would be correct for the Grenadier Guards from 1919, but during the First World War the Guards regiments wore the standard British Army diamond-shaped Bath Stars (pips).

The King's Man (2021)

Factual error: The Black Watch sergeant major wears a crown over three chevrons, which was the correct rank badge for a company sergeant major until 1915. However, this is at least 1916 (as conscription has started and the men are wearing steel helmets, both introduced in 1916). CSMs had been redesignated as warrant officers in 1915 and now wore a crown on the lower sleeves instead.
