Corrected entry: When the alarm from Fort Grant comes in Col. Thursday skips his dinner and rushes to the headquarters. Given the danger of the situation as well as his meticulous sense of duty (also of his subordinates') he'd for sure have summoned his next in line, the Capts. York and Collingwood and Lt. O'Rourke, who are enjoying an undisturbed dinner party at the Collingwoods' quarters. (00:36:50)

Correction: This isn't really a mistake it's questioning the judgement of a charecter who didn't do what one would think he'd normally do. Remember the telegram came after dark and there was nothing the regiment could have done anyway.

Continuity mistake: When Col. Thursday skips his dinner because an alarm came in he apologizes to Phil. While they are talking Phil's purse appears in her hands from one shot to the next. (00:36:15)
