I am by nature a diarist and when asked a sticky question about WW2 can usually refer back to notes I have previously written and provide an answer.

Usually, but not in this case

Has anyone come across a link to a definitive list of Army Pay in WW2 ?

Wartime friends have given me some clues (the consensus of opinion is about two shillings a day) but I'd like to see it in print somewhere.

Answers to this thread please.

Many thanks

Ron
