I think there's only one possible solution to 1d but it would have been nice to be given a clue.

Pretty sure 1D clue is missing, unless it somehow relates to the quote. Can’t come up with a word that fits, though. A name, maybe?

It's a somewhat elderly military expression.

How does 16a work please?

Typical ...as i press submit , I get it!!! Add the C ....

Good to see that the Spectator’s usual crossword editing standards are being maintained….🙄

Despite the missing clue it was a much better challenge than last week's.

AP, I think virtually anything would have been a better challenge than last week!

True Malone, very true!

My slight quibble is that it's not a quotation but the translation of a quotation, of which there are a number of quite different wordings, so I wonder if there might not have been a more accurate way to put the rubric?
