"All Quiet on the Western Front" is an obvious choice.
One of the Richard Hannay novels would be a good comparison from the same period.
Not sure what to pick for a more modern perspective... we read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_Away_Peter in secondary school, and I hated it at the time, but wouldn't mind revisiting. It's short at least.
