Could anyone help with 19 ac. please?

"Wood taken after struggle fighting in Korea (3, 4, 2)".

I assume 17d is "covering" - ?

Thanks as ever.

Thank you both - I was researching the Korean War, like an idiot.

So 17d - "Searching for blanket (8)" is not "covering". If "sweeping" I assume that it means blanket as in coverage - not sure about that. A few creaky clues this week?

Yes - to sweep an area - to search it.

Sweeping also means widespread/blanket.

Thanks to all again - "blanket coverage" is what I meant but didn't make clear.
