Factual errors
While waiting for his car to be repaired Clive Candy receives a message and states "Murdoch, the war is over. The Germans have accepted the terms of the armistice; hostilities cease at 10 O'clock." WWI famously ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, or 11:00 (not 10:00) AM on 11 November, 1918. It should be noted that France is in the Central European Time Zone one hour ahead of England in Western European Zone (Greenwich Time), so if you were in England at the time (Candy was not), it would have been 10 AM.
