Huge soldiers (5)
I believe the answer is:
giant
'huge' is the definition.
(I know that huge can be written as giant)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for giant that I've seen before include "Titan" , "Extremely large (person)" , "Designating big" , "Enormous" , "Colossus" .)
