Question: In one of the last scenes of the movie when the camera is spanning the waste of the battlefield, why is there a British Lee Enfield rifle shown propped up against a tree? Why would that weapon be found there?
Answer: It was not uncommon for us troops in WW1 to be issued the Lee Enfield or the 1917 Enfield.
Factual error: The canteens used by US troops in a couple of the scenes are the wrong type. The twin handle design M1956 came out in the mid 1950s.
Yoder: Hey, how come nobody ever calls me Bob?
Cepheglia: Who's Bob?
Rosen: He's Bob you dumb Dago. Haven't you ever heard of a first name?
Cepheglia: Your first name is Private. You're gonna be Private all your life Rosen. You'll never make Corporal.
Rosen: All I wanna make is civilian.
