306:. While I disagree with Rhadow in that the inclusion criteria here is pretty clear - this list, if fully populated by notable people only, would be huge. It is much better served by a category - and guess what? there are cats for this - as may be seen when navigating Category:World War I by country, e.g. Category:Australian military personnel of World War I and Category:British military personnel of World War I. Or navigated Category:People of World War I.
345:. This is such a broad criteria (and arguably vague - for example does someone who was a child at the time, but lost a parent or sibling due to the conflict count as person associated with World War One?) , that it could end up thousands of names and it is difficult to see what use it would be. I concur that categories are a better way to help people search for individuals involved in the Great War.
565:-- This is potentially a list almost without limit. What we have in it so far is probably the personal selection of one or more editors, but there will be dozens of articles on generals, holders of gallantry medals, air aces, inventors, civil servants, every serving politician in the Parliaments of all combatants, medical personnel of the armed forces, ... Where do we end?

per Patar knight's suggestion. This list is way too vague on who actually qualifies as a notable person who is associated with World War I. I think the People of World War I category covers this topic better and without the notability restriction.
