SPR was about Americans, not the Brits. The cemetary in question is for the American war dead, not the Brits, because you see, there were no Brits at Omaha - they were on Gold and Sword. Monty is mentioned as having failed to get Caen as he had promised.

And Monty was under par, so anything that portrays him as such is accurate.
