Swiss division soldiers needing time in winter quarters (10)
I believe the answer is:
cantonment
'winter quarters' is the definition.
'cantonment' can be an answer for 'quarters' (cantonment is a kind of quarters). I am not certain of the 'winter' bit.
'swiss division soldiers needing time' is the wordplay.
'swiss division' becomes 'canton' (I've seen this in another clue).
'soldiers' becomes 'men' (men can mean a group of soldiers).
'needing' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'canton'+'men'+'t'='CANTONMENT'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cantonment that I've seen before include "Quarters" , "military camp" .)
