- AnecdotesTrevor Howard once said of this movie: "The best thing about 'Cockleshell Heroes' was filming in Portugal. Beautiful country. While I was there, I ended up doing the commentary for a documentary about the country which won more awards than the film ever did. I went all over the world promoting the documentary. As for the film, well."
- GaffesCaptain Thompson is talking to Major Stringer about his family history. He claims to have joined up in 1918 just in time to take part in the Battle of Cambrai. This was actually fought from November 20th to December 3rd 1917 so he would have missed it.

Captain Thompson: Your men give the impression of being an ill-disciplined rabble. And they'll never get to Bordeaux that way.
Major Stringer: Thompson, I'm training these men, not you. I'm the one who is responsible for the success or the failure of this project, so if you don't mind, we'll do it my way. It may not be the right way, or the Marine way, or the professional way, but it is my way and that's the way I want it.
