Officers' room in confusion (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mess

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'officers' room' is the first definition.
(term for a military canteen)

'confusion' is the second definition.
(mess can mean confusion or chaos)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for mess that I've seen before include "State of disorder" , "Food-hall" , "4 [DISORDER]" , "Medley" , "Where soldiers may eat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
