Gene Hackman's character describes the American charge up San Juan Hill in Cuba (July 1, 1898). He says the enemy guarded the church on top with French 75mm artillery guns. But these weren't officially adopted by the French military until that March, and were first seen in public in that year's Bastille Day celebration (July 14). French 75's were used during the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) in China and during World War I (1914-1918) in Europe--but never in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.
