About ten minutes into the film, there is a scene in the colonel's office. On the wall behind the desk are two crossed flags with a portrait of the queen. The portrait appears to be Queen Elizabeth II. This was 95 years before she became Queen. Queen Victoria would have been the reigning monarch in 1857.
