That’s amazing soldier in Pembroke for example (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corgi

'pembroke for example' is the definition.
(pembroke is a kind of corgi)

'that's amazing soldier' is the wordplay.
'that's amazing' becomes 'cor' (both are expressions of surprise).
'soldier' becomes 'gi' (government issue or general issue).
'cor'+'gi'='CORGI'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for corgi that I've seen before include "Welsh breen of dog" , "Toy car manufacturer" , "Royal pet" , "Pre-2018 royal dog" , "One of the Queen's dogs?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
