What does SUTLER mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A civilian merchant who followed an army from camp to camp, selling food, drink, and other provisions to the soldiers.
A sutler operated outside the army's own supply system, setting up a stall or wagon near camp and selling goods the official rations did not cover, from tobacco and liquor to small comforts from home. Armies in Europe and North America relied on sutlers for centuries, especially before modern logistics made official supply chains reliable enough to cover everything soldiers wanted. The position carried real risk, since a sutler traveled with the army into hostile territory and could be caught up in the same raids and battles as the troops themselves. By the twentieth century, formal military quartermaster systems had made the independent sutler largely obsolete.
