I guess this depends on what you mean by classic...how old does a novel have to be for you to consider it classic?
Or are you more concerned with quality?
If so, I'd recommend Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls and Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage.

The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
All Quiet on the Western Front by Eric Remarque
March by Geraldine Brooks (it's new, just won the Pulitzer, so I guarantee it's a classic to be)

All of these are fine novels but if you wish to look at the aspect of loss of innocence you would be hard pressed to find better than ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card. Good luck.
