City raised endless soldiers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bremen

'city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'raised endless soldiers' is the wordplay.
'raised' becomes 'bred' (eg bred children).
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'soldiers' becomes 'men' (men can mean a group of soldiers).
'bred' with its final letter taken away is 'bre'.
'bre'+'men'='BREMEN'

(Other definitions for bremen that I've seen before include "City and state of NW Germany" , "German port city and state" , "North German city on the Weser" , "Major German port" , "City and state of northwest Germany" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
