As far as I can remember, only in North Africa when" Eagle did his duty" we were paid in regular money except that the bills had a gold seal. This was done in case the enemy got hold of a large amount he would not be able to use it.

 

Since the invasion of Sicily occurred so soon after the fighting ended in North Africa it is barely possible that some of the gold seal money was paid in Sicily. I just can't remember because at that time we were all busy considering what we had to do to stay alive.

 

I hope you can use the info.

 

As ever,

Dave
