This is driving me mad - in both senses. Any help with 17a or 15d would get me across the line. I don't understand the definition in 36a and fisherman in 24d is not supported by my BRB. I would be happy with 19a if it said "for instance" and not "for one".

Is 17a "her" + "o"?

Gitto, 15d is an obscure word. Definition is first two words of the clue, the wordplay is an anagram of 'barely' (reviewed) around a 3-letter word for soldier.

Thanks Ozzy and Will.

Gitto, I don’t understand 36ac definition either although the entry is obvious. I’m not sure about Abelard either, he wasn’t a hero except maybe to Heloise; suppose that must be it. Apart from those minor niggles I did enjoy this, cleverly constructed I thought.

I just assumed 36a definition is a reference to the religious significance of that period.

Thirteen across gives me a “K” as an extra letter, which should not happen ! (Should be an “S”) Any ideas ?

There is no extra letter in 13. The S comes from 16a

Can I get a steer for 1a, nothing seems to fit, possibly a clash in first cell?

Could somebody give me a nudge with 24 down please? “Groups upset about navy ships’ area”.
And I’m looking for one more clash that yields a consonant (the one that appears twice in the title). I have the one from 6 down.
Thank you.
