Confidential — Tommy? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

private

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'confidential' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'tommy?' is the second definition.
(informal term for a British soldier)

(Other definitions for private that I've seen before include "Secret - soldier of the lowest rank" , "Lowest rank of enlisted person" , "Rank, concealed" , "Unofficial; military rank" , "Lowly soldier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
