An Accidental Soldier is an Australian television drama film produced by Goalpost Pictures, released on 15 September 2013, and starring Marie Bunel, Dan Spielman, Julia Zemiro, and Bryan Brown.

[1] Harry Lambert (Dan Spielman) is a timid 35-year-old Australian baker who is shamed by his rural neighbours to join the 1st AIF and fight in the Western Front of World War I.

Behind the lines, he continues to bake bread but when they are called up to fight, Harry realises he doesn't want to kill and leaves the battlefield.

In the countryside, deserters are being trailed; he barely avoids capture when Colombe Jacotot (Marie Bunel) finds him.

Producer Sue Taylor stated, "There is a six-week window after the winter rains in the spring where we do look a little like France.
