hard-drinking soldiers second-to-last special ops in greece 4 R?E?
even lie-in couldn't get it-maybe my crossers are wrong?thanks

[donny48]

What clues give the crossers ? What edition of the crossword is it ?

[Lie-in King]

I still can't see 2d & I have the same crossing letters as the OP. For precision, the punctuation/caps might make a difference to anyone that can help -

Hard-drinking soldiers' second-to-last Special Ops in Greece

[donny48]

Rhea
rhea is a greek goddess and Ops is the Roman equivalent

[donny48]

Still working on the rest.

Well done, Donny!

'R(oyal) E(ngineers)' (drinking) 'h(ard)' + '(speci)a(l)' (2nd-to last)

[donny48]

Nicely done, LIK

You did the main bit - I've seen Ops/Rhea before, am kicking myself :-)
