Soldiers and performers will get shots after services (7)
I believe the answer is:
returns
'shots after services' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'soldiers and performers' is the wordplay.
'soldiers' becomes 'RE' (Royal Engineers).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'performers' becomes 'turns' ('turn' can mean a performer as well as their act).
're'+'turns'='RETURNS'
'will get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for returns that I've seen before include "Hands back" , "Sends back" , "Tickets possibly available" , "Profits" , "Goes or comes back" .)
