6D. Soldiers on a street in Secret Intelligence Service (8) P-R-I-TS.
Only answers seems to be PERSISTS.
If this is correct why?
Many thanks in advance
Excuse me The Winner, surely 'to soldier on' means to "carry on'. As an Army vet I use the expression quite often in the context when asked 'how was I doing?' My reply that I was soldiering on would simply mean that I was carrying on as normal. I wasn't persisting in or on anything!
//To continue or persist
(intransitive) To continue or persist, despite adversity or difficulty. quotations ▼ He soldiered on through the night, working hard and not sleeping.//
