I have raised volunteers for show (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evita

'show' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i have raised volunteers' is the wordplay.
'i have' becomes 'ive'.
'raised' says the letters should be written backwards.
'volunteers' becomes 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army).
'ive' written backwards gives 'evi'.
'evi'+'ta'='EVITA'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for evita that I've seen before include "Juan Peron's wife" , "Show" , "Well-known musical" , "1978 Lloyd Webber musical" , "Nineteen Dn musical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
