Finished but still cannot see parsing of two:

32a Chap's in for treatment and surgical operation PROCEDURE

55Aa Historic standard showing signs of wear ANCIENT

Please can anyone put me out of my misery??

32a Ed is the chap inside pro(for) cure(treatmant)

55a appears to be a double definition ?

Thanks very much Bunty. Always seems easy once you are shown the parsing! Enjoy your Sunday.

Many thanks Jazzgirl. I see it now. Had not realised that an ancient was also a flag. Should have looked it up!
Enjoy the rest of the week-end.

You too cannyannie :)
