Brave people (6)
I believe the answer is:
heroes
'brave people' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for heroes that I've seen before include "Courageous persons" , "Men of distinguished bravery and strength" , "Chief (male) characters of book, film, etc" , "Record sung by 14 [BOWIE]" , "Cavaliers" .)
