'''Mrs Truman ran a Tobacconist''' next to the army barracks in Albany Street, London. She took orders from 'gentlemen' and let the boys at the barracks know 'the orders'. She was fixing up sexual encounters between upper class gentleman and the young army boys. According to cavalry trooper Fred Jones, a rent boy at the Hundred Guineas Club at the time (1880s), all army recruits were initiated into sodomy by their NCOs (non-commissioned officers) immediately upon enlistment. When Mrs Truman died, a series of clubs opened up, including 19 Cleveland Street (of the [[Cleveland Street scandal]]) and the upmarket [[Hundred Guineas Club]].
