Fiji Military Forces Pay And
KATES of pay and allowances for the Fiji Military Forces were announced at the end of August. They vary from 3/- per day for privates under 21 (3/6 if over 21) to 57/6 per day for Colonels (on appointment—after two years’ service in rank the pay is 60/- per day).
Marriage allowances have been fixed at 8/- per day for Lieutenant-Colonels and
Colonels, grading off to 2/- per day for privates.
It is interesting to note that the pay for a Major, on appointment, is 40/- per day —which is equivalent to the ruling rate in Australia for a rough carpenter.
