I am trying to find out how much the adverage Private would earn in the British Infantry during ww2 and if this changed each year or stayed the same?

According to the book "Captured at Arnhem", by Norman Hicks, after 5 years in the army, it increased to 2 shilling per day (Plus parachute pay, of 2s), however I can't find the previous pay. Also, the subject of the book was a Sapper with the Paras, so it might not be entirely accurate.
