Combatants, soldiers (8)

I believe the answer is:

warriors

(Other definitions for warriors that I've seen before include "Men experienced or famous in battle" , "Brave soldiers" , "Men who are mighty in battle" , "Arrow, sir for the fighting men (8)" , "They're engaged in battle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
