Violence
Occasional moderate battle violence includes bayoneting of soldiers, a stabbing to the chest and repeated blows to a soldier with the butt of a rifle. One soldier pushes another's face into muddy water in an attempt to drown him.
Language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'). Milder terms include 'bitch', 'shit', 'crap' and 'son of a bitch'. There is also occasional use of racist terms including 'n****r' and 'coon'. The film as a whole does not condone discriminatory language or behaviour.
Injury detail
Amputated limbs are tipped from a wheelbarrow into a hole in the ground outside a hospital. Battlefield images include sight of multiple dead soldiers, one of whom has a visible stomach wound. A dead man is shown lying on a bloodstained pillow.
