It was still used in specialised circumstances. German snipers and, more
generally, troops in exposed positions, wore what's close to a medieval set of
armour known as a Sappeurpanzer (body armour) and Sappeurhelm (helmet).
There's not much online about it but one example is at:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sappeurhelm
Also the vent lugs on the original M16/M18 helmet could have additional armour
plates attached to them, the Stirnpanzer:

Then there's (non-official) stuff like this, showing 19 bullet impacts:

but that predates WWI by a bit.
