To be fair: A lot of things that are war crimes today were declared as such specifically because of WWI. Meaning that they weren't war crimes when they were committed during the war. Specifically chemical agents (mustard gas and friends) had never been seen before, so there obviously was no treaty banning their use until after the fact.
