As I see it, British soldier drops minute object (2,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
to my mind
'as i see it' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'british soldier drops minute object' is the wordplay.
'british soldier' becomes 'tommy' (I've seen this before).
'drops' is a deletion indicator.
'minute' becomes 'm' (abbreviation).
'object' becomes 'mind' (to mind something is to object to it).
'tommy' with 'm' removed is 'tomy'.
'tomy'+'mind'='TO MY MIND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for to my mind that I've seen is " Personally speaking".)
