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.

Wah you're so good at identifying them!
That's all right except the 5th is Bulgarian. :D

And that story about the pickelhaube is funny, I feel bad for laughing at your headshot description haha

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.
