A Mark IV tank makes a brief appearance in the film, to symbolize the changing face of warfare, making warhorses like Joey obsolete. This Mark IV is actually a replica of a Mark IV owned by The Tank Museum (formerly the Bovington Tank Museum) built from a modern commercial excavator.

Note the two QF 6 pounder guns in the forward sponsons, and the three Lewis guns, one in each of the rear sponsons, and one towards the front of the hull.

German Helmets and Body Armor

The costume designers went above and beyond when it came to marking the passage of time by showing the evolution of German helmets.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
At the start of the war, German troops were issued leather Pickelhaube helmets, which offered little protection against shrapnel.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Early Stahlhelms had ventilator lugs built into them, which allowed an additional armor plate, the Stirnpanzer, to be attached. These were not popular as they were too heavy, and later versions of the Stahlhelm did away with the lugs.

White helmet covers started appearing in late 1916.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
In mid-1918, the Germans started painting camouflage on their helmets. Note that the shooter is also wearing plate body armor, which was issued along with the Stirnpanzer.

Pattern 1908/1912 Cavalry Sword

British Cavalry troopers and officers are armed with Pattern 1908 and 1912 Cavalry Swords, respectively. Like sidearms, NCOs and enlisted men were issued their sabres, while officers were expected to purchase their own. These were the last service swords issued by the British Army, and thus, remain in service today in a ceremonial role.
