James Page 12th (Service) Battalion Cheshire Regiment In researching my grandfather's WW1 career, we would like to know how much a private soldier was paid, and how he managed to send money to his wife and young baby. My grandfather enlisted in September 1914, was sent to Salonika in 1915 and was not discharged until 1919. In 1918 he suffered from malaria, stated to have 20% disability and was transferred to the Labour Corps. I should be grateful to know about his pay, as I can find nothing online on this subject. List of those who served with The Cheshire Regiment during The Great War Pte. James Page 12th (Service) Battalion Read his Story.
