Old soldier (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veteran

'old soldier' is the definition.
(veteran can mean a former soldier)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for veteran that I've seen before include "Nervate (anag.)" , "An old hand or ex-soldier in USA" , "One of great experience" , "Describing cars built before 1919, especially before 1905" , "Person with long experience, as in American army" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, The Independent, The Sun and the Evening Standard.
