Soldier's lodgings (6)
I believe the answer is:
billet
'soldier's lodgings' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for billet that I've seen before include "private housing" , "Lodging for military personnel" , "Lodging for troops in private house" , "Soldiers' quarters" , "Chunk of wood - lodging" .)
