The marshal came to after tea, we hear (4)
I believe the answer is:
tito
'the marshal' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Yugoslav marshal' mean 'tito' so perhaps 'marshal' could also mean 'tito')
'came to after tea we hear' is the wordplay.
'came to' becomes 'ito' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'tea' is a homophone of 't'.
'ito' put after 't' is 'TITO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tito that I've seen before include "Former Yugoslav leader" , "President of Yugoslavia, 1953-80" , "Former Yugoslav dictator" , "Former leader of country" , "Marshall ..., President of Yugoslavia from 1953" .)
