I'm stuck with two in the NW corner. Any help would be gratefully received.

1A Composer in Rome does not sound innocent (5)

2D “And I have no objection to drinking —’s cheap gin in as many European towns as possible before going grimly back to Real Life” (Iris Murdoch) (5)

Have you any letters for either of these?

1a. Verdi/green ?

2d. NAAFI, neither do I, HIC!

2d. NAAFI.
