I am probably the only one who hasn't finished this!
I have done it all except these two which are driving me mad!
22 Across-Only the odd Trappist makes late call (4)
I only have T???
and 19 Down-Track soldiers return without leader (5)-I only have ???O?
Is this a word missing its first letter and including letters that mean soldiers?
HELP!!

22 taps ( odd letters of trappist)

22a odd letters of trappist - T A P S ??

22 taps - bugle call (odd letters)

Spoor

19d spoor (track of animal) - troops reversed without their leader T

(T) roops ( reversed)

Thank you everyone!
I am still learning and didn't know about using odd letters-very clever.
I would never have thought of spoor but it all makes such sense now.
Is there a book I could read to find out about some of these
tricks- as well as this wonderful forum of course?

This is one of the online guides, but there are several others
