1 Gift
5 Faro - in clue
5 Faro - hidden in clue
4 Posh
2 Oho
3. Crotchet
The clue would suggest that soldier maybe GI (US Infantryman) + Newspaper FT (Financial Times. present = Gift.
That's probably why cashier gave that answer Flonska. ;)))

(Think the OP just got their letters and dashes in a twist.)
Sorry Flonska, didn't see the OP's follow up thread.
I saw someone recently who said 'Gift' wouldn't fit - but I can't find it now.
Apologies I posted on the wrong thread - there is an update (that came in quite quickly . .

Oho isn't correct.

It's Coo.

Coo is an expression of surprise, plus a homonym (being announced) of coup (triumph).

It appears that 15a and 44a are probably grid layout errors. The answers look like they should be GIFT and AIDE, but they don't fit around the other words.
The end white squares have been offset.
Frustrating.

Regarding GIFT and AIDE and the layout error, please see
