an informal term for Britain or England, used by soldiers of the First and Second World war

Doh! Of course! Thank you!

26a "Part of the 10, like that cushioning a blow" (8)

T?A?A?O? - all I can see that fits with these letters and the theme is a word for the personification of death, but if so can't see the parsing.


4d "Unsound notion, as a member reported?" (7)

?A?L?C? is this a word a reference to member that more usually has the second letter as O rather than A?

Any help much appreciated

26 - your o should be u

4 the member is a sexual organ

Thanks zozozo - silly slip of the pen on my part

My first time posting and I am stuck on 1d, 12a & 15a.
Any help gratefully received!

Welcome, thali!
It's best to give the clues. I've thrown mine out now, but possibly not very far - I'll see if I can find it.

Found it!
id definition is "current measure". The first 2 letters are "degree up"; last 6 is whimsically "furious exercising".
12a the priests are Buddhist
15a old word for "consider" around a top journalist, then A.

Welcome Thali

1 definition = current measure
12 priests = lamas + m(ay)
15 consider = mull + ed (journalist) + a

Thank you Chrise & Rossim! I finished it for the first time! Excellent tips.
