    • Trivia
      In 1918, the War Graves Commission began to search the Gallipoli battlefields in an effort to locate and identify bodies belonging to the Commonwealth. A Norfolk cap badge was found buried amongst some of the bodies, which led Reverend Charles Pierrepoint Edwards to conduct a more detailed examination of the area where the cap badge was found. In all, one hundred twenty-two of the one hundred eighty bodies found were identified by their Norfolk badges and flashes.
    • Goofs
      When the Turkish Officer hands Beck's watch to the Rev Pierpoint Edwards, the watch still has the chain attached. When Pierpoint Edwards hands the watch to Queen Alexandra the chain is missing.
    • Quotes

      [Frank Beck is talking to his men, from the Sandringham estate like himself, before they go off to fight]

      Captain Frank Beck: Now I'd like to think that I have many sons. I've certainly held one or two of you rascals in my arms in the first few days of your lives. So what shall I tell your families? I shall tell them that whilst we are away, I will be your father. And God willing, I'll bring you all safely back home.

    BBC's "Saving Private Ryan"
    Surprisingly graphic for British TV, this is the wrenching story of a rifle company composed of estate workers from the King's country home at Sandringham, a sort of perfect Camelot from which men go forth to be slaughtered in World War I. Don't look too hard at the mystery of what happened to this unit, which apparently disappeared into the hell of battle at Gallipoli. More important is the metaphor of the illusion of war-worn "glory" hitting the rerality of modern battle. In much the same way that an egg hits a sidewalk.
