Does anybody know what front(s) did he serve on, and was he mobilised to the army or did he volunteer?
He served on the Eastern front, though for Austria, this was the northern front. I believe he was mobillised, but for all this and much more just see Hulsmann's biograpy of Mises.

For Alexander Zinoviev and the free market there is a shared delight:
"Where there are problems there is life."
Interesting. I didn't know he was a soldier. Thank the gods he wasn't killed...

Do you think this might play into why he was for Conscription?
Kind of an emotional / congnitive dissonance he would have overcome. Affected by the propaganda?
He was forced to serve, right? Or did he volunteer.

He was a reserve officer and was so called up. But he did volunteer to become a reserve officer and passed the course for it in his youth.Anyway it is not surprising. AJP Taylor called Austrian Jews "the only real Austrians". They were very patriotic (after the emancipation).
