Loudly criticises the accommodation of soldiers (8)
I believe the answer is:
barracks
'loudly criticises' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'accommodation of soldiers' is the wordplay.
'accommodation' becomes 'barrack' (I have seen 'private accommodation' mean 'barrack' so perhaps 'accommodation' could also mean 'barrack').
'of soldiers' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'barrack'+'s'='BARRACKS'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barracks that I've seen before include "camp" , "Army buildings" , "men who fight in houses here" , "Loudly criticises" , "Jeers in soldiers' quarters" .)
