owdun......there was a difference in the basic pay scales that was almost 50% specialist pay like jump money was a bonus and was paid at the same rate as the regulars. I would think the same thing applied to the RM.
In the early fifties the wages of a two-year National Serviceman were 28/- per week (£1.40) and a three-year man received 45/- per week (£2.25). We were paid in Sterling. Decimal currency didn’t arrive until 1971.
