Crossword Genius

Old soldier, a camp entertainer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redcoat

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'a camp entertainer' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for redcoat that I've seen before include "Former British soldier" , "One employed to entertain" , "British soldier or Butlin's worker" , "Old British soldier - Butlin's entertainment organiser" , "British soldier (hist.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
