Conscript cavalryman (7)
I believe the answer is:
dragoon
This clue might be a double definition.
'conscript' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'cavalryman' is the second definition.
(I know that dragoon is a type of cavalryman)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dragoon that I've seen before include "Shanghai" , "Constrain" , "Coerce; mounted soldier" , "bring into line" , "Cavalryman; coerce (into doing something)" .)
