The Irish Brigade fife and drums, of course, played "the Minstrel Boy" in the movie.

Speaking of historical accuracy in war movies - I just saw an Indian movie, "Border", dealing with a battle in the Rajasthan desert in the 1971. Though purported to be true, it was pretty clear the battlefield was scored for cinema rather than for historical accuracy... I could have taken either the Pakistani or Indian commanders with a company of Brownie Scouts armed with cookies.
