- It's probably out of place but the ending, when the Zulu sing praise for the defenders and leave was a pretty heartwarming moment. As the translator of the group said they were "Saluting fellow braves." And after they've all left, one lingered a moment longer to give the defenders one last salute. Historically, this never happened and the Zulu only left when the British received reinforcements.
- Sergeant Bourne reciting Psalm 46:Bourne: Bit of the Psalms, I suppose. My father was a lay preacher. A great one for the Psalms, he was. There's one, oof - might've been written for a soldier...Witt: Say it, man! Lift your voice to God!Bourne: Now, sir?Witt: (delighted) Let them hear your voice!Bourne: They know my voice.Witt: Let them hear it now in praise of the Lord. Call upon him. Call upon him, man, for your salvation.(the soldiers stop working and look at Bourne in excitement)Bourne: As far as I can remember sir, it goes something like this, 'He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder...The Lord of Hosts is with us.'
- Bromhead encouraging the wounded Chard, especially considering how they've interacted up until now:Bromhead: Now listen, old boy; you're not badly hurt. We need you! Damn you, we need you, understand?!
- Pvt. Hook, despite himself, doesn't run off and abandon his fellows when the situation turns dire, even the sergeant he was always butting heads with. And then in a darker way, when the sergeant is killed, Hook is horrified.
