We include here some of the more prominent people from World War I - political and military figures, combatants, fighter pilots, and others - and their role or roles in the war. Many were authors - with or without a ghostwriter - or became one, and fueled the postwar market in memoirs.
The national affiliations are those of the individual's primary country. They do not reflect the postwar nations (such as Czechoslovakia) or redrawn borders.
