Wartime pin-up and queen on galley (9)
I believe the answer is:
kitchener
'wartime pin-up' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'queen on galley' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'galley' becomes 'kitchen' (I've seen this before).
'er' after 'kitchen' is 'KITCHENER'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kitchener that I've seen before include "Canadian town" , "British field marshal, whose image appeared on WWI recruitment posters" , "Old field marshal" , "WWI military leader" , "General in "Your Country Needs You" poster" .)
