In one scene, a 17-year-old boy is handed a white feather by a woman in order to shame him into volunteering, despite being under-age. The practice of women handing white feathers to men of fighting age spread rapidly in 1914 and continued throughout the war, despite the introduction of conscription for all men between 18 and 40 in January 1916. The White Feather movement was notoriously over-zealous, and frequently handed white feathers out to under-age boys, soldiers home on leave, and men who had been discharged from the armed forces - often with serious injuries. Seaman George Samson famously received a feather when he was on his way to a reception held in his honour to receive the Victoria Cross as a reward for his bravery at Gallipoli.
Early in the film, a character receives a letter informing them of their husband's death. When asked by their child who was written to them, she replies "the King". In World War I, the families of enlisted men were informed of their death through Army form B 104-82, which included an enclosed (generic) message of sympathy from the King and Queen. It was also common for the soldier's commanding officer to include a personal letter.
The character of Clyde is said to have been wounded at Ypres. This is likely to have been during the Second Battle of Ypres, a description given to four separate conflicts fought between April and May 1915 around the town of Ypres in western Belgium. These were fought between German forces and allied battalions from Britain, Canada, France and Belgium, and is notorious as the first mass use of poison gas on the Western Front.
The cap badge of the soldiers portrayed in the film is that of the West Yorkshire Regiment.
Roger Allam and Alun Armstrong were in the original cast of Les Miserables in 1985, playing Javert and Thenardier respectively.
