Agrees to head military friends (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tallies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agrees' is the definition.
('tally' can be a synonym of 'agree')

'head military friends' is the wordplay.
'head military' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'friends' becomes 'allies' ('ally' can be a synonym of 'friend').
't'+'allies'='TALLIES'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tallies that I've seen before include "Agrees; scores" , "Matches, corresponds" , "Reckons debt or score" , "Counts, of votes say" , "Recordings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
