Traps I've set for soldiers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

privates

'for soldiers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'traps i've set' is the wordplay.
'set' indicates an anagram (instruction to set the letters).
'traps'+'ive'='trapsive'
'trapsive' anagrammed gives 'PRIVATES'.

(Other definitions for privates that I've seen before include "It would be unseemly to expose these" , "soldiers" .)
