This, should not have, entertained me, half so much, as it did... Oh well. It was nicely done - I have no idea, how you, create, things like this, so there's credit, to you.
I think, I figured out the uniforms from left to right
No. 1 and No. 2: British Empire. The kilt is from the scotish regiments, obviously. 3rd: German Empire and Austrian Empire. 4th and 5th: French Republic. 5th: Russian Empire 6th: Ottoman empire
The french uniform shows how some uniforms changed during the war: The 5th uniform (red trousers, blue jacket and blue kepi) was used at the beginning of the war only. Since it didn't provide good camouflage. So, the french changed to a blue-grey uniform (No. 4) with a steelhelmet called "Adrien". That's the light blue helmet left of the dark blue kepi. Germany had to go through a similar experience. The german helmet was originally the famous "Pickelhaube". [link] It had at spike of about 10 cm on it's top, that often gave away the position of the soldier, when he was hiding behind a parapet. Then the aliied soldier had to aim 10 cm lowers and - BLAM - headshot! To avoid these casualties, the "Stahlhelm" (Steel helmet) was introduced in 1915. The "Stahlhelm" is the second helmet (light grey) from the left.
Well I think this is spectacular. We just now got finished with WWI in History. I think it'd be cool if you could somehow give a little background history on the different outfits? If someone made the German uniform, you could have a thing pop up telling them about the German's part in the war, their weapons and stuff? I THINK THAT'D BE TOO COOL! ;D GOOD WORK.
Oh well.

That's all right except the 5th is Bulgarian.
And that story about the pickelhaube is funny, I feel bad for laughing at your headshot description haha
I don't really know how to do that but it would be cool
