British battalions and regiments in World War I
Includes Irish units; most infantry regiments should be in but the huge task of adding the battalions for each remains. There's a list of British divisions in World War I based on Wikipedia, and a good reference for the size of the task is this Great War Forum post listing divisions (for reference when looking for unit diaries).
A good source for detailed battalion listings is the Long, Long Trail's page for the British infantry of 1914-1918

I think this is done (but am in no position to assess)
Chinese units in World War I

Not started.

Not started. Help!
Indian battalions in World War I
Cobbled together from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site and published histories. No doubt incomplete.
Italian battalions in World War I
Started, but no definitive online sources (that I could find). Some published sources available.
Montenegrin units in World War I
