Ross

I believe the answer is:

sapper

'private in the british royal engineers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sapper that I've seen before include "Soldier who digs trenches" , "Something that wears down" , "Army engineer" , "Engineer private" , "Military engineer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
