Fagan Alan David Lee as Corporal Ned Manning as Captain Ashworth Noel Hodda as Captain Barnes Reception John Voorhees of the Seattle Times wries "But while the characters are compelling enough to hold our interest through all seven episodes, the real reason for watching 1915 is because it captures the feeling of time and place so expertly, exhibiting a sense of history that goes beyond old cars and period clothes. And it is that historical ambience that sets 1915 apart from many TV miniseries." Vorhees John '1915' it Asutralian miniseries that telss more than tale of war The Seattle Times 17 August 1986 Daniel Ruth of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it 2 1/2 stars, criticising the pacing: "This mini-series takes too long to establish itself, as McGregor and Burgess spend the first four hours of "1915" swooning over Thornton and Woodburne and calling each other "mate". Enough already.", but praising other aspects: "Two virtues of "1915" are its terrific production values and period costuming."
