Wrong about soldiers suffering (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torment

'suffering' is the definition.
(torment is a kind of suffering)

'wrong about soldiers' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'soldiers' becomes 'men' (I've seen this before).
'tort' placed around 'men' is 'TORMENT'.

(Other definitions for torment that I've seen before include "Severe physical or mental suffering" , "Pester or tease unmercifully" , "Pester annoyingly" , "Cause mental distress" , "Badger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
