Hack Savers repair bags for soldiers, perhaps (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haversacks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for soldiers perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'hack savers repair' is the wordplay.
'repair' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are fixed or repaired).
'hack'+'savers'='hacksavers'
'hacksavers' with letters rearranged gives 'HAVERSACKS'.

'bags' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for haversacks that I've seen before include "having these on their backs" , "bags" .)
