Draft elite soldier - the first on a bivouac? (8,2)

One by twainti! (8.2)

Could you explain that one before voting opens, please, AB?

Hi ChrisE.
"Roughing it" is the title of a book by Mark Twain so is "One by Twain". Roughing (Chambers- treating roughly - ruffling) "it" gives "ti".

Thanks AB - I don't think I ever would have got that!

You must run out of daughters soon , aristo? I hope everything goes absolutely to plan for the wedding.

As to what you were thinking last week, I seem to remember it was an outstandingly good clue.

Thank you Aristo for explaining to Paul. Far better than I could have done.

Tempted by mattrom @ 2 but it is les40 @ 29 for me, please.

I liked BBM2 @19 and mattrom @31, but my pick is

les40 @29
