P.S. If I know that it's some sort of Prize crossword, I generally try to restrict my help to hints.

I think 14a is ridiculous frankly.

easy enough? None of the anagram engines I use found it. OK if you know what to look for I suppose.

well, the last 5 letters are easy to guess, leaving a pretty obvious 6. don't think it's a word. though!

Agree 14a was easy especially as I had letter 5 in place. Just not a real word quibbles Tanglewood. Also easy 28a but really US

I suspect I'll kick myself but I have one left and am flummoxed:
7D in general, some thing designed to grip much less (3,5). I have L-T/ -L-N-. Is it let alone or let fling? Any parsing defeats me.

Name a crossword "General"!

Now that is a fair hint chrise.
I solved it that way too

Thanks, Chrise. He was on the losing side wasn't he!

IN fact he was offered over-generalship by both sides - picked the wrong one, though.
