Ross

I believe the answer is:

stripe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'military' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'band?' is the second definition.
(I know that band can be written as stripe)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stripe that I've seen before include "Band of colour - 3 of rank" , "Sign of a soldier's rank" , "promotion, maybe" , "Military rank indicator" , "Military mark of rank, chevron" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
