Marshal receives Manx veteran in US (2-10)

I believe the answer is:

ex-serviceman

'veteran in us' is the definition.
(veteran is a US term for an ex-serviceman)

'marshal receives manx' is the wordplay.
'marshal' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'marshals' mean this (marshal can mean to gather)).
'receives'+'manx'='receivesmanx'
'receivesmanx' with letters rearranged gives 'EX-SERVICEMAN'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
