Can anyone help please? I can't see why!
1. The traitor has run forward a little into danger Ans Threat
2. Popular as refuge for soldiers in complicated situation Ans Morass
3. An irrelevance about Lawrence initially being inaccurate Ans Red herring
4. Duck-weed upset daughter of Zeus Ans Erato

The traitor = Tha rat and rat has run forward a little into the to give THrEat = danger

duck = nil = 0; tare = a weed; upset gives ERAT + O

Re + D.H. + erring

Can't spot #2. ra might be soldiers (Royal Artillery) but that leaves moss outside. Anyone?

soldiers could be OR (other ranks) and that leaves mass as the refuge. ?

Brill Jazzy, then how about popular appeal / mass appeal giving popular = mass (a bit of a stretch!)

... mass then bring a refuge for OR. Eh?

Yes, a stretch indeed. Not really a good clue methinks.
