25a Book or two about unknown soldiers (5) D _ A _ y

[shooty]

diary ?

[shooty]

i think its deary
Book or two about = read (dear) + y for unknown

[shooty]

terry deary wrote unknown soldier

[shooty]

Please scrap above. This is my last attempt. : )

DIARY
D = the SECOND tone in the scale of C major.
(unknown) Y + (soldiers) IRA (about)

If this is wrong, I give up : )

[bulliver]

diary (book) = 'di' (two) + reversal (about) of 'y' (unknown) and 'RA' (Royal Artillery/soldiers)

[shooty]

Thank you for clearing that up bulliver. As you can see, I still have a lot to learn.
I guess, I won't be getting best answer then. : )
