I know that in pre-20th century modern English history an officer was required to buy all the accouterments of office and was paid only token amount to formalize his employment by the state; how much money every year did a Victorian officer, say 1870ish and a colonel, have to sink into his office? How does this roughly translate to modern money?

Here's a typical executioner. The brocade is on a shawl on his back, I can't find an image of it.

I'd have just Googled something along the lines of "how much did a high-level commission cost in the Victorian era" but I get literally no relevant results, I figured someone would just write "about $250k a year" and then I'd let the thread die.

I can't really comment on how much they would earn but I remember there were many examples, particularly with the more prestigious regiments (I.e guards, cavalry etc, ones with big social expenses) that they would be at a loss by the job and required a private income.

I'm also currently reading Eminent Victorians, which is what tangentially led me to this game.

You sound petty and autistic. Not even OP.

Well care to answer for me then? Wikipedia claims soldiers were paid one shilling and two pence per day in the late 19th century and I found this website which offers a lot of interesting information about the economy but no mention of soldiers or officers
