Among the many annoyances of soldiering, being put "under stoppages" was surely among the worst! What were stoppages? How did they work, and what were they used for? Were they always legitimate or could they go too far? And, what happened to officers and NCOs when they abused the money that was intended for their soldiers use? In this third part of our series about British soldiers pay in the Long18th Century, we're going to discuss the many many ways in which a soldier's pay could be taken away from them! Stoppages, debts, and even fraud.
