Only two to go and I just cannot get my head around them.

7d Recompense rising cartoonist (6) r???r?
10a ...was seen drifting about end of Dunkirk, failing (8) ??a?n?s?


Also, I don't know if anyone can help me with the following - 11a is Helment had e.g. damaged lug for which I originally put 'headgear'. ('ear' for lug plus combination of other letters) I am now wondering if it is actually headwear - wear from 'wear and tear' for damaged. I don't know if anyone can throw any light on this just to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks all.

10a weakness

reward

headgear sounds right

hadeg damaged = anagram
plus lug=ear=
HEADGEAR

Thanks for those and to Francis for the explanation on 11a. My mind got thrown off with the idea of 'wear and tear' - I had only seen the letters as random not those within that small bunch! Its amazing how obvious it becomes when pointed out!

can anyone help with this please
