Army chaplain has accommodation next to soldiers (5)
I believe the answer is:
padre
'army chaplain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'accommodation next to soldiers' is the wordplay.
'accommodation' becomes 'pad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'next to' says to put letters next to each other.
'soldiers' becomes 're' (Royal Engineers).
'pad'+'re'='PADRE'
'has' is the link.
(Other definitions for padre that I've seen before include "Military chaplain" , "Cleric" , "Minister" , "Army serviceman?" , "Sky pilot (military slang)" .)
