Wartime pay and allowances for military dependents
The article explains dependents’ allowances under wartime service rules. It notes lower rank recruits gain nothing for dependents, while volunteers with dependents face hardship. It suggests Congress would restore wartime benefits if the National Guard is called up or broader conscription expands to include dependents. Commissioned officers receive no allowances for dependents during the war, but do get basic pay plus subsistence allowances for a married status and lodgings ranging from 60 to 120 dollars monthly depending on rank and marital status. Brunswick, Germany is cited with a population around 200000.
