Yes! AN in KJI.
Finished now and I'm so glad to see the back of that one. Many thanks AB and trevor.

This is from a different crossword.

Guy's death leads to naval punishment (5,3).

- - P - S / - N -

ROPE'S END?

One in four men?(4)

- V - R

So the four could be IV? IVOR? But I don't get the men.

Ropes End seems good.
Guy - rope
death - end
naval punishment - Ropes End - both the punishment and the thing used to punish wit.

re Ivor,(it looks like the right answer) is that the full clue?

Yes, trevor, that's the entire clue.

I agree ROPE'S END must be right.

Also I got the V from this:

European federalist ideal briefly back in fashion (5).

VOGUE (EU GOV reversed)= FASHION

Here's another one.

Delivery cancelled before holiday (3,5).

- F - / - - - - -

OFF something?

IVAR? In reverse RAVI, so that would give [the names of] men?

Still don't see the "one in four", though.

off break?(might be a cricketing term).

Sammy. Your IVOR - O.R.= other ranks = men

nice one gharbij ihn.
i checked 'off break' and it is a type of delivery (way of bowling) in cricket - i hate sport.
