Many thanks for the tabulations of current army pay. In 1939 as an infantry private I was paid two shillings a day. A source on 2002 purchasing power related to stated earlier years tells me...

There was a national inconsistency in how the wages were calculated. Some girls for example weren’t sometimes paid for their overtime. However, Lady Denman campaigned during the war for a minimum wage of 28/week. Some of the key developments were as follows: 1. 1st June 1939:Wages were set 28 shillings (£1.40) weekly pay (10 shillings less than the...
Despite working for most of the day in uniform, Land Girls did not have much money to spare. Out of their wages, money was taken for board and lodgings and laundry. The lifestyles of many Land Girls functioned on a tight budget. Grimwood remembers hitch hiking on numerous occasions, despite being warned of the dangers.
Bicycles, which were often used as transport from the girls’ accommodation to the farms were vital, once they got to know their way around the country lanes. Having your own (or a WLA bicycle) gave you freedom of movement in a country area. There were no road signs, so as to not aid the enemy in attack. Dimmed bicycle lamps at night also made it ex...

All Regular Army officers and soldiers were paid a wage, with the Territorial Army officers and soldiers receiving allowances and an annual bounty. With the outbreak of the Second World War on the 3 September 1939, the U.K. Parliament enacted the National Service (Armed Forces) Act 1939, which introduced conscription for men aged between ...
By the start of the Second World War in 1939, considerable spending on increasing Britain's military capacity had already taken place. The rearmament programme, which had begun in the mid-1920s, was costing £197 million by 1937.
Feb 23, 2023 · The basic rate of pay of the British soldier, as stated in the White Paper, is 2s. 6d. per day, but I am prepared to say that it is 3s., because after six months' service the soldier normally gets proficiency pay.
