I am sure PRESS and POSEUR are both right but I am not 100% sure of how the parsing works- eg can see POSE + UR or definition but can't see POSE and POSEUR.; and is press = "a crowd" or just the verb to "crowd"?

[Mamyalynne]

A crowd - a Press

Force into service - Press

[Mamyalynne]

Attitude is doing double service as part of both wordplay and definition

Thanks.Not a use I'm familiar with but I'd have expected clue to start with CROWD rather than A, but i'm only an occasional solver so may be overthinking it

I could be wrong, done my best. Happy if someone has a better idea.
