Goodbye To All That *
Parade's End
The Good Soldier Svejk
All Quiet On the Western Front
A Farewell to Arms
Birdsong
Regeneration
The Radetzky March
A Long Long Way
The Thin Red Line
From Here to Eternity
Catch-22
Slaughterhouse-Five
The Naked and the Dead
Das Boot
Half of a Yellow Sun
The Sword of Honour trilogy

* - sorry, that one is a memoir
Nothing wrong with a memoir! (I realize you were listing fiction.) I've been considering them for a nomination. Goodbye to All That is one of my favorite books of all time and I even own both versions; Great War memoirs are one of my favorite reading categories.
