gitto, working on your hints.
I get Souses as D followed by castles. I don't know if they can be called men.
33 took me a long time. But the word begins with B and means ruddy-faced young woman. B + depressed + two directions.
Got 35. Had No idea that the word meant ear of corn.
43. Could it have S???ze as the answer. Cannot figure out what sabre is
in wordplay.
From first 10, I have only 3. Will work on those now.
