British military except in camp or very low threat environments carry their sidearm "locked and loaded". In the opening of the film, the lead is going home and therefore turns his sidearm over to the next in command. He draws, ejects his magazine and racks the slide....no round is present. It would be unusual for the sidearm to not have "one in the pipe". Small thing...but an oversight.
Correction. The British military do not use the term "locked and loaded", they use the term "loaded and made-ready". Additionally, contrary to what has been stated, they do not always "make-ready" their firearms (so as to place a round in the chamber). It depends on the local doctrine (based upon the mission and threat). Having a sidearm merely loaded is not limited to "in camp or very low threat environments".

Eddie (Theo James) is shown in his uniform, which includes a light blue beret. In episode 6, Eddie tells Collins (Max Beesley) that he served in the Queen's Dragoon Guards. The beret of the Queen's Dragoon Guards is navy blue. Light blue berets are worn by the Army Air Corp.
When writing appears onscreen to highlight the character's dialogue (not subtitles), the years are abbreviated with an apostrophe after the two digits, instead of before. Example: the year 1945 is shown as 45' instead of the correct '45, and it is consistently incorrect throughout.
