Returning US soldier meeting ladies, say, in house (5)
I believe the answer is:
igloo
'house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'returning us soldier meeting ladies say' is the wordplay.
'returning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'us soldier' becomes 'GI' (GI can mean an American soldier).
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'ladies say' becomes 'loo' (ladies toilet).
'gi' written backwards gives 'ig'.
'ig'+'loo'='IGLOO'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "Dome-shaped Eskimo house" , "Living quarters" , "Snow house" , "Home made of blocks of snow" , "Inuit shelter" .)
