Alan Titchmarsh maintains borders with space for hundreds of flowers in Nepal (6)

To me, white pawn sacrifice, ww1 poet made for doomed youth. (6)

Hello everybody, just enjoying going over your clever offerings.
Reckon I've sussed most of them but can I please ask Les and fieryjack to parse the last couple of entries?

Hi marty

To me white pawn - anag
Sacrifice - sub ind
ww1 poet - sub
Made - anagrind
For doomed youth - def

Using Wilfred Owen's - "Anthem for doomed youth"

I know it's not a def more a signpost

Hi Marty.

A (la) N T (itchmars) H = maintains (keeps) the borders
with = added to
space = em (spacing measurement in printing)
Def = hundreds of flowers in Nepal


Nepalese National Anthem is "Sayaun thunga phool ka" translates to English as "Hundreds of flowers"


Man (anagram fodder)
is shot = anagrind
outside = container indicator of 'the'
Box = secondary container of the anagram of 'Man' to be boxed in
Cryptic def = scoring for his country.
Score - being music - for his country - (national) anthem
AN the M

Sorry Bbm. I meant
Man is to box in 'the'

Hope that helps
