'repeatedly' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'top class deal arranged and maintained by country's foremost soldiers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'class' could be 're' (Religious Education, school subject) and 're' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'deal' is 'dela' which is located in the answer.
'soldiers' could be 'reme' (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) and 'reme' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for creme de la creme that I've seen is " (The) very best".)
