40 looks like TENCH - TEN (after none) Camp Hospital, but the definition eludes me!

TENTH works, rusty, but shouldn't it be after NINTH?

How do you get the EACH bit of the other?

I agree, Chris, about "ninth".
I have not seen the clue written, though.

Thanks for "each".

I suppose that, if you had nine things in a row, the next one would be the tenth. Doesn't seem elegant, though!

A place to sleep in camp is a "tent" with "H" for hospital. Tenth.
Not one of the setter's best I would not think!
