Actually, Rommel did serve in WWI as well; he even participated during the first assaults on France during 1914. The highest point of his career, as per his words, was in Italy during 1917, when with a few hundred men and barely sustaining any casualties (less than 10 men) he forced a few thousand Italians to surrender.

He wouldn't serve in Africa until WWII, though.
