Soldiers in camp - sorry, on manoeuvres (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
army corps
'soldiers in' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'camp sorry on manoeuvres' is the wordplay.
'on manoeuvres' indicates an anagram (the letters manoeuvre into a new form).
'camp'+'sorry'='campsorry'
'campsorry' is an anagram of 'ARMY CORPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for army corps that I've seen is " Military unit".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
