New army corps with a bit of money (6)
I believe the answer is:
recent
'new' is the definition.
('recent' can be similar in meaning to 'new')
'army corps with a bit of money' is the wordplay.
'army corps' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a bit of money' becomes 'cent'.
're'+'cent'='RECENT'
(Other definitions for recent that I've seen before include "Not long ago, quuite new" , "Contemporary" , "Occurring not long ago" , "Not long ago, in the immediate past" , "Present day" .)
