Crossword Genius

She's found in the cavalry (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

val

'she's' is the definition.

'in the cavalry' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'VAL' is hidden within 'cavalry'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for val that I've seen before include "- Kilmer, US_actor" , "girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
