Soldiers' uniform compensation? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redress

'compensation?' is the definition.
(I know that redress is a type of compensation)

'soldiers' uniform' is the wordplay.
'soldiers'' becomes 'RE' (Royal Engineers).
'uniform' becomes 'dress' (dress uniform is a kind of uniform).
're'+'dress'='REDRESS'

(Other definitions for redress that I've seen before include "Pay" , "remedy" , "Prepare again - satisfaction" , "set straight again" , "set things right" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
