Service members in World War 1 were paid at standard fees based on their rank and their time in service. Perhaps someone has a payscale from 90 years ago they can post.

Yes, of course they were paid - so were soldiers.
In the UK and continental Europe they got paid in the currency of the country they were stationed in.
A PFC in the US Army paid $6.50 as a monthly premium for $10,000 worth of life insurance in World War 2.
Hessian troops were paid 1 shilling = 25 cents a day
I assume you are referring to mercenary soldiers who will fight for anyone if paid enough. But soldiers in the national armed forces also receive pay.

yes
US Army Privates made $50 a month and combat pay was $10 and paratrooper jump pay was $50
fifty percent -- White soldiers were paid $13 per month while black soldiers were paid $10 with a $3 deduction for clothing, resulting in a net pay of $7. To answer your question, then; black soldiers were paid $6 dollars less than white soldiers, almost half as much. This was ended with the equal pay act passed by Congress in June, 1864 where it was stipulated that black soldiers would receive the same pay, supplies, etc. as white soldiers.
OVER 9000!!
It involved civilians as much as soldiers.
German soldiers during World War I were called "Huns" by the American soldiers. The Germans called their soldiers "The Bosch" during World War I.
