- Acting for Two: Syd Chaplin (Charlie's older brother) as the Sergeant and kaiser Wilhelm II.
- California Doubling: The film was shot in the vicinity of Hollywood in 1917, and it shows. One visible example is the scene where Charlie, disguised as a tree, is chased by German soldiers. Look closely, and you will spot a highway in the background, with cars. 1917 Germany didn't have this accomodation. The California mountains are also visible (and possibly the same spot where Willow Rosenberg would try to destroy the world about eighty years later).
- Completely Different Title: Known in France as Charlot soldat (Charlot Soldier). "Charlot" is the French name of the Tramp.
