Innkeeper in the army? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

host

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'army?' is the second definition.
(host is a kind of army)

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for host that I've seen before include "great many!" , "Landlord; army" , "lot of people" , "Entertain" , "Army - innkeeper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
