... such as me and nine more men? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenor
'such' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'me and nine more men?' is the wordplay.
'me and nine more' becomes 'ten' (ten people).
'men?' becomes 'or' (military abbreviation for Other Ranks).
'ten'+'or'='TENOR'
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "Male 17" , "Male singing voice of high pitch" , "thread" , "Eg, Caruso" , "Male singer with high register" .)
