Value normally expected with a soldier (4)
I believe the answer is:
para
'soldier' is the definition.
(para is a kind of soldier)
'value normally expected with a' is the wordplay.
'value normally expected' becomes 'par'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'par'+'a'='PARA'
(Other definitions for para that I've seen before include "Soldier dropping to earth" , "Soldier (shortened)" , "Soldier who jumps to order? (abbr)" , "High-jumper" , "A block of text; an airborne soldier (abbrs.)" .)
