When there’s danger, I go out with the Queen, as guard (9)
I believe the answer is:
grenadier
'guard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'when there's danger i go out with the queen' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'there's' could be 'n' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'n' is located in the answer.
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'go' could be 'die' (synonyms) and 'die' is located in the answer.
'queen' could be 'r' (abbreviation for regina, e.g. in ER ) and 'r' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grenadier that I've seen before include "Soldier; fish; bird" , "guard" , "Re-reading for the deep-sea fish" , "Infantryman - in red gear (anag)" , "A household infantryman" .)
