In chapter three, part four "The Somme", you get in a tank with a group of five soldiers following along side. Bi-planes will machine gun and drop bombs as you move forward, always coming from the front. Aim high and go slow and it'll be NO problem. The soldiers will warn you of incoming planes so if you slow down on an incline it'll be a bit easier.
There are three sections. The first and third will have the planes and the second will have you put out a fuse underground and then grenade a bunker. You chase the fuse after going down a ladder and put it out with an A button prompt. The third section will also have bunkers to bomb and only four soldiers along side to protect . Thanks to True Marvelous and LizardKingv666 for noting the four soldiers in the third section.
It should be noted that I died during the defusing section (I was looking for collectables
) and I still popped the achievement.The achievement still popped.

SIXTH TROPHY OPPORTUNITY “Brothers’ Keeper”
There are two tank segments in this level, you must complete both without losing any men. You can keep a head-count as they will run in a group behind you – five in the first segment, and a new four in the second.
Aim the cannon up high and move along while shooting at threats and obstacles, particularly timing your shots for the enemy planes, which will be announced by one of your infantrymen.
Note: The trophy should pop before the cutscene with the end boss.
Detailed guide:
The first segment has 5 enemy planes, most of which don’t actually need to be shot down.
The regular green planes don’t harm the tank at all, they’re only a threat to your infantry.
-The 1st is like a warm up, and won’t kill any of your men if you ignore it and keep moving.
-The 2nd is to teach you a lesson, if you ignore it and keep moving your last guy will die, but if you stop he can take cover and survive.
-The 3rd (a bomber), will cause damage only to the tank.
[checkpoint] (if you die)
-The 4th is the most deadly, and will wipe out your whole team if you don’t shoot it down.
-The 5th (a bomber) will destroy your tank in one hit if you don’t shoot it down, which would send you back to a checkpoint before the 4th, with or without your last man (depending on how you handled the 2nd).
[checkpoint] (if you die or if you quit)
In short, you can let the first 3 go, only the last 2 must be shot down before they get to you.
After you’ve taken down the bunker, a new squad of 4 will roll by with a new tank.
The second segment has 7 threats but is much shorter as they are more densely packed.
[checkpoint] (if you die)
-1st a plane which will wipe out your squad if you keep moving, you can protect them if you stop.
-2nd a bunker which can also be ignored if your men take cover and you don’t take too much damage.
-3rd a bomber which will destroy you if it gets two hits, so must be shot down.
-4th a bunker.
-5th a bomber.
-6th a bomber.
-7th a plane. Harmless if you cover your squad.
In short, you don’t have to worry about shooting down either green plane, and don’t have to shoot down all of the bombers or bunkers so long as your squad stay in your shadow and you destroy enough to make it through without the tank being destroyed. It’s kill or be killed!
Note: The trophy should pop before the cutscene with the end boss.

At the beginning of this chapter you will enter a tank and be responsible for escorting a platoon of five soldiers, to unlock the achievement all five of these soldiers must survive until the end of the section. There are three areas, the first will have German Bi-Planes firing on your squad and dropping bombs. Your group of soldiers will warn you when a fighter is incoming, aim high to take them down before they can do any damage. The second section you will have to jump out of the tank and head underground to extinguish a fuse lit by an enemy soldier, simply run to the fuse and put it out with 
when you are prompted, and then grenade a bunker to continue on. The third section is the same as the first with bunkers added in throughout to destroy as you go along. Just go slow, take down the fighters as fast as you can and you should have no problem grabbing this. The achievement will unlock at the end of the chapter.

This is in The Somme mission during Chapter 3. You will jump into a tank at the beginning and your platoon will be running along side it using the tank as cover. You want to shoot the airplanes that fly above. They won’t always kill one of the members of your platoon, but they can. Once you have made it to the halfway point, you will need to jump down into a cave where a soldier will light a fuse. You must run up to the fuse and put it out with the 
button. If you don't then it will set off the explosive and kill everyone.
Once you have put out the fuse, continue forward and you'll need to use a grenade and throw it into the bunker above you. At this point, you will get back into your tank and you'll need to continue destroying planes and bunkers where people are shooting at you. The trophy will pop at the end of the chapter, right before your "one on one" battle.

If you still lost soldiers after moving to the second tank, then exit the game, then continue and try again. The Mnetrophy fell out anyway.
