Did You Know?
Goofs
Reggie Soper is addressed as 'sergeant' throughout the series, but wears the rank of a staff sergeant (three stripes and a crown, as opposed to the three stripes only of a sergeant) and should therefore be addressed (given that he is is the Royal Army Medical Corps) as 'staff'. Though, as he is in charge of the quartermaster stores, he would usually be addressed as 'Q'. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

I rate The Crimson Field with 'Call the Midwife' and 'Downton Abbey.' It is British drama at its best with a fantastic cast of those some of you may remember from other shows. However, there is no stereotype in their roles from previous shows. Truly remarkable acting. What is equally important is that the show is true to the actually happenings, both from a historical point of view as well as social. The war itself was a slaughterhouse due to the ineptitude of the British and French generals and senior officers. Some of which is depicted in the series. It was a hundred years ago that the war began and truly didn't end until 1945. Again, the result of the British and French generals seeking retribution from Germany when the armistice took place.
