Provide soldier with victory in Europe (4)
I believe the answer is:
give
'provide' is the definition.
(giving is a kind of providing)
'soldier with victory in europe' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'gi' (government issue or general issue**).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'victory in europe' becomes 've' (abbreviation as in 'VE Day').
'gi'+'ve'='GIVE'
(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "be generous?" , "Yield, produce" , "Donate, grant" , "old-fashioned shackle" , "To yield; resilience" .)
