Bald Eagle, although the "King's Shilling" was the original fee for enlisting, it has increased over the years, along with everything else - inflation is not a new phenomenon. I'm not sure what the current fee is, but it is certainly feasible that at some stage in the past it could well have been a guinea. Does anyone have more specific information? |
