Harms recording, destroying notice of dismissal from employment (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
marching orders
'notice of dismissal from employment' is the definition.
'marching orders' can be an answer for 'notice' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'of dismissal from employment' bit.
'harms recording destroying' is the wordplay.
'destroying' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'destroyed' mean this).
'harms'+'recording'='harmsrecording'
'harmsrecording' anagrammed gives 'MARCHING ORDERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for marching orders that I've seen before include "what the infantry may be given" , "may be issued on the parade ground" , "Dismissal" , "They send you packing" , "what's given to departing soldiers?" .)
