1917电影男主角来自哪个单位？

电影中，男主几次说过自己来自哪个单位，比如：

Lance Corporal Schofield, sir, 8th.

No, sir. I'm from the 8th.

光从字幕信息里，是很难知道这到底是第8连、第8团、第8营，还是第8军。

这要结合一战英国军队的真实编制来判断。

正确答案是男主角来自第8师（8th Division），它的指挥官是一位少将（Major-general）。符合电影中的情况。

再来看看第8师在一战时期的编成是怎样的，注意到第23旅下面出现了“德文郡团第2营”（2nd Battalion, Devonshire Regiment）

这也和电影情节相符合。

但我实在记不起公映版《1917》中是怎么翻译男主的单位的，有没有译错呢？
