Issue rebuked soldiers brought about Latin navy (8)
I believe the answer is:
children
'issue' is the definition.
(I know that issue can be written as children)
'rebuked soldiers brought about latin navy' is the wordplay.
'rebuked' becomes 'chid' ('chide' can be a synonym of 'rebuke').
'soldiers' becomes 'RE' (Royal Engineers).
'brought about' is an insertion indicator.
'latin' becomes 'l'.
'navy' becomes 'N' (common abbreviation eg in RN Royal Navy).
'chid'+'re'='chidre'
'chidre' going around 'l' is 'childre'.
'childre'+'n'='CHILDREN'
(Other definitions for children that I've seen before include "Minors" , "Small people" , "Little people" , "Sons and daughters" , "Young people" .)
