I liked the movie and until I searched the internet did not realise there is an earlier (more original version), The first noticeable error was that there were no air raid sirens in 1914 as the Germans and the Allies had few bombers or even aircraft that could be used as such, So the presence of searchlight batteries in the background is a surprise. There were Zepplins of course but the first actual raid on London (which was considered to be an accident) was in 1915.There were raids on the ports and facilities closer to coast but in 1914 the usual method of attacking flying craft was with machine guns and rifles, most artillery had to be adapted to be able to rotate the barrels higher, The first allied air force of any consequence was in France.There were no air raid shelters or even anyone authorised to make use of any facilities for their use. The first two purpose built AA guns were used in 1915 and had their first success in April of that year (one aircraft was shot down), The air precautions act was not passed until 1934 and the first Government circular was not issued until 1939 designating and creating the role of air raid wardens and that the underground stations could be used for that purpose.The second error was that they could not be married due to their residential status under the existing (at that time) marriage act, regardless of the time of day. The most puzzling thing to me is how did Robert Taylor get the "lucky charm" back ?. unless she had some form of identification (which was not required) on her person when she was killed and who would be able to identify the body and inform him so that the charm could be obtained from the police.
