Crossword Genius

More than one serviceman remains unreliable (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marines

'more than one serviceman' is the definition.
(marine is a kind of serviceman)

'remains unreliable' is the wordplay.
'unreliable' indicates an anagram.
'remains' anagrammed gives 'MARINES'.

(Other definitions for marines that I've seen before include "elite corps" , "Seminar for American troops" , "Naval service" , "Troops trained to serve on land or sea" , "forces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
