Chambers online has that as defn 7 of soldier as well.

Ah, got it now. “They’re seen with soldiers.”

Good to know Mprs (both the correct usage and your level of proficiency!). Chambers has another word ‘kyu’ which it states is a judo term

Now I'm confused I have 19D beginning with P and I wrote it in because I couldn't think of another country which fitted, so didn't parse it fully.

There is another country that fits, in fact it was in last week’s Everyman as wordplay

Corrected that one then ;) Cheers.

I guess I suffer from canal-retentiveness *bdum tish*

paradigmshifter, Panama was my first guess too. Silly not to think of our neighbor.

Scotland? Apparently that was once joined onto 19D though which is why it's more mountainous than the rest of the UK.

AT LAST..... NOT REPLYING TO THIS SPECIFIC POST. But had to celebrate finishing with 9d. Yey! I noted an earlier post about 'it must be an anagram - but of which words' and that was what had me fixed.

Agree with many that Everyman has become more difficult in recent weeks. But cannot explain why. Still enjoy it though, enormously; and the postings are great. So welcome to new ones and hello to old ones.

Cheers.
