Many thanks scorpiojo and Ouzel. Part of my problem was that I had some wrong letters due to an incorrect across solution, which I have now corrected thanks to your help.
You're welcome.
Thanks all. I' ve been having a go at the same puzzle. In case you do pop back, WilliamR, how did you get to Ambassador for 23a - A doctor no less upset, or an agent? I can see it's right but I can't make the clue fit.
A MB as sad or?
Chiefy b. A doctor= a mb
No less = as
upset =sad
Plus or
a mb - a doctor
as sad - no less upset
or- other ranks/ men/soldiers
Thanks people - As sad was the bit I couldn't see.
