The place for the low soldiery? (4)
I believe the answer is:
base
This could be a double definition.
'the place' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'the low soldiery?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for base that I've seen before include "Ignoble - HQ" , "Starting point; wicked" , "Lowest part; ignoble" , "standard" , "Vile; basis" .)
