That's an interesting view. Why not :) Or he maybe think of his dad when seeing the soldiers.
So why Edmund didn't, as he semes to miss his dad a lot ?

well, edmund is very...how you say...a-better-word-for-a-bad-word needed!!!...well, he was being quite snippity at the time, and was more focused on Anna/Susan trying to help him on the train. Also, he didn't look round when Will did: he was just focusing on looking cool or being snotty.
 
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but that soldier that Peter stared at was Jaxin Hall, the young man who was almost given the part of Peter. So I think it was just a way to give Jaxin a little screen time, since he wasn't able to get the part of Peter.

(It has him in the credits simply as "soldier.")
 
heyyy i never noticed that before--adam-son. lol interesting!

I don't really think there was anything meant by him looking back at the soldier. Maybe he was just disoriented. Who knows?? Another good question to ask in an interview.

Adam-son!!!! HAHAHA! That's hilarious!!! :D Coincidence?? Maybe part of some prophecy, perhaps?? Like 60 years from now, they'll make a movie about Narnia and the director's last name will be adam-son... :p I'm crazy. Anyway...

I guess maybe to add the emotion to the scene also. The audience already knows their father is at war so well, well, well, Peter looks up and sees that soldier and goes..."This is what happens when war comes around."
 
.

Maybe he was wishing he was helping out with the war, instead of going with his siblings to somewhere he'd never been??? Just a thought. Every true man has a secret desire to fight for freedom.
 
What I think is that he knows that his dad is fighting in the war and he is leaving him behind as well as his own home and mother. He is probably worried about what is going to happen while he's away...
 
He looked back at the soldier because he wanted to go fight in the war as a soldier and he felt guilty because he wasn't going because he needed to watch over his younger siblings. That's part of the reason why he told Susan, Edmund, and Lucy at Aslan's Camp that they were going home but he was going to stay behind and help fight.
 
I think they say he is just "Lost in his surroundings"
It wasn't actually in the script, it was just something that William happened to do, because it was his first day on set, and he was a little bewildered, so he stoped and looked. Andrew liked it, so they kept it.

When the children are about to board the train, why does Peter stop and look back at that soldier?

Well what I think is that Peter will miss his dad when he is at war..and maybe for him its like "why does father had to go to war?"
"I wish this wouldn't happen..."
 
Well i'm pretty sure that it wasn't planned out like that, it was just an accident that happened to make it into the film.
