In nineteen-seventeen a few declared themselves pacifists and conscientious objectors, and, little recking what they were in for, marched off triumphantly to a military prison, feeling like Christ and longing for a public cross. The others, those that were young enough, shouldered a gun and went to the front with high hearts and hardened muscles. Democracy ueber alles.
First thing I knew, the Knitting Swede was shaking me awake. "Yump out of it, Yackie," says he. "We go aboard." I turned out, shouldered my sea-bag, and went downstairs.

Despite their protracted absence from their homes, the wealthy and well-born privates still shouldered the musket.
