'she'll' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a party for the gunners' is the wordplay.
'a party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the gunners' becomes 'RA' (Royal Artillery).
'do'+'ra'='DORA'

'give' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
