Turtledove

This is a broad catch-all category. Fictional characters who served in World War I should go here. As Harry Turtledove has written very little about WWI, most of these characters come from stories which take place after the war has already ended. Most of these stories also place their respective points of divergence (if any) after the war's end as well, although there are exceptions. The main theatre of WWI is depicted directly in "Ils ne passeront pas," a speculative fiction set in OTL, and "Christmas Truce", an alternate history.

Historical figures should go here only if they continued serving in WWI during or after the relevant POD of any story. Most such examples can be found in "Uncle Alf," "Zigeuner", and the aforementioned "Christmas Truce."

In Southern Victory, the WWI analog is called the Great War, and has its own category "Category:Soldiers of the Great War (Southern Victory)". As Turtledove often revisits the same historical figures in different timelines, there is some noticeable overlap.
