Made rough distribution of volunteer force (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
home guard
'volunteer force' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'made rough distribution' is the wordplay.
'distribution' is an anagram indicator.
'made'+'rough'='maderough'
'maderough' anagrammed gives 'HOME GUARD'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for home guard that I've seen before include "Dad's Army" , "security force" , "World War Two defence organisation" , "Volunteer force" , "Last line of defence in World War II" .)
