Military display to bestow decoration on soldier? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tattoo
'military display' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to bestow decoration on soldier?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'to' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tattoo that I've seen before include "Military event" , "Picture dyed into the skin" , "Engraving on skin" , "Indelible impression" , "Skin design - military entertainment" .)
