Soldier in the Royal Engineers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sapper

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sapper that I've seen before include "Royal Engineer" , "Something that wears down" , "Soldier who digs trenches" , "Private in the British Royal Engineers" , "Engineer private" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
