(i) Lambert is 8th to the right of Khurusheva.
(ii) Mickey is 16th from the left end.
(iii) Lambert is 16th to the right of Jackson, who is 27th from the right end of the row.
(iv) Khurusheva is nearer than Mickey to the right end of the row.
(v) There are boys between Mickey and Khurusheva.

From the given information, we can deduce the following:

- Since Lambert is 8th to the right of Khurusheva, we can place Khurusheva to the left of Lambert.
- Mickey is 16th from the left end, so we can place Mickey to the left of Khurusheva and Lambert.
- Lambert is 16th to the right of Jackson, who is 27th from the right end. This means that Lambert is 43rd from the right end.
- Khurusheva is nearer than Mickey to the right end. This implies that Khurusheva is to the right of Mickey.
- There are boys between Mickey and Khurusheva, indicating that there are soldiers between them.

Based on this information, we can arrange the soldiers as follows:

Left end: Mickey - Khurusheva - Boys - Lambert - Jackson - Other soldiers - Right end
