Initial delivery of a military alert (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
first post
'a military alert' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'initial delivery' is the wordplay.
'initial' becomes 'first' (similar in meaning).
'delivery' becomes 'post' (I've seen this before).
'first'+'post'='FIRST POST'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for first post that I've seen is " Call for retirement".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
