Crossword Genius

Courage of everyone in supporting construction (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gallantry

'courage' is the definition.
(I know that gallantry is a type of courage)

'everyone in supporting construction' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'supporting construction' becomes 'gantry' (bridge-like structure).
'all' placed within 'gantry' is 'GALLANTRY'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gallantry that I've seen before include "Bravery" , "Heroism" , "Spirit of adventure" , "Chivalrous behaviour" , "Courteousness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
