Brave soldier or fighter (7)
I believe the answer is:
warrior
I believe this is a double definition.
'brave soldier' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fighter' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for warrior that I've seen before include "Military man" , "Great soldier" , "Skilled fighting man" , "Brave soldier" , "Brave fighter" .)
