The look of an old Indian army man? (5)

Any letters, Liz?

JimC

I think the 5 in brackets is a bit of a help... Had it been 6 I'd have said SHUFTI - but it ain't...

sowar?

Ooops - sorry JimC - I see what you mean - letters across... Duh!

S'ok Robin'.

I imagine it must be demanding for you living in the woods with a bunch of merry men.

I also thought of 'sowar' and 'sepoy' but can't yet see why they must be the answer.

stale perspiration, it seems, has long been soldierly(3,5) old ?????

any help on this clue which would give me another letter

Hi.

stale perspiration, it seems, has long been soldierly(3,5)".
old sweat = a veteran soldier.

Hi again.

dekko is the answer to your original clue ('dekho' = 'glance' in Hindustani).

JimC

Many thanks Jim
