Crossword Genius

One reveres Ireland's foremost injured soldier (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idoliser

'one reveres' is the definition.
(someone who worships or reveres a god)

'ireland's foremost injured soldier' is the wordplay.
'foremost' says to take the initial letters.
'injured' is an anagram indicator.
The initial letter of 'irelands' is 'i'.
'soldier' is an anagram of 'doliser'.
'i'+'doliser'='IDOLISER'
