I don't think that historians would regard the comic strip as completely and absolutely historically accurate .

Pat Mills did try to keep the strip in harmony with what the common soldier suffered in the trenches during the First World War .

The comic strip did try to accurately portray dates and battles as historically correct .

The strip was an excellent introduction to the pain and futility of that war for a younger generation that only knew of the war through books/films and probably had a family member that someone remembered as dying in the "Great" war and these were the ways the common reader would be acquainted with those events .

Pat Mills , like any writer , will take 'creative licence' with his works but , all in all , I think that both he and the artist had a keen interest in providing the reader with an experience that was for the most part accurate .

While the comic Charley's War is a work of historical fiction, it is generally well-regarded for its attention to detail and accuracy in depicting the realities of World War I. Historians appreciate its portrayal of the soldiers' experiences, conditions at the front lines, and the broader context of the war, but it is important to remember that it is a narrative interpretation rather than a strictly factual account.

Why do historians doubt Jesus' existence?

Historians usually accept that a person mentioned in ancient texts really did exist, unless there is good reason to believe otherwise. Jesus is mentioned in the gospels, so most historians accept by default that he existed, although there is no actual proof of his existence. Nevertheless, a growing minority of historians are beginning to question the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth.
