Outline

Fourteen year old Harriet is a girl who does not quite fit in, and when she is kicked out of the Girl Guides for fighting, her father does not know what to do with her.

As war breaks out and the Scouts and Guides are volunteered to support the war effort at home, Harriet decides to form her own army of misfits, mounting their own patrols to track down German spies. Soon, she and her army become embroiled in a daring adventure on the hunt for an enemy who is much closer to home than they realise.

Harriet’s Army is a thrilling BBC World War One family drama, following the adventures of a group of brave and determined children as they hold the front line at home, revealing the astonishing real roles played by children as their fathers and brothers went to fight in the trenches.
