Who's Who - By Country
Available within this section of the
Who's Who area of the site are pages listing biographical entries by
country.
Note that additional entries continue to be added on a fairly regular basis, thus these pages are by no means exhaustive. At present there are more folio entries available for the larger nations at war than for others. Over time this bias will be redressed.
