Two possible inaccuracies in this film

Two possible inaccuracies in this film, the first being near the beginning when Tom played by Brian Stirner reports to the barracks. In the background you see a radiator. In Britain houses were not built with central heating as standard equipment until the mid 1970’s generally speaking & up to the early 1980’s it was still possible to find a newly built house with no heating system. I doubt very much that a British Army barracks in the 1940’s would have had anything more high tech than a trusty old paraffin heater.

The other inaccuracy is that Tom speaks with a middle class accent yet he is just an ordinary squaddie. With his sort of background you would have thought he would have been at least a junior ranking officer. The class system in modern Britain is almost gone but it is still very much alive & well in the Forces. In the 1940’s this would have been even more extreme.
