lovatts cryptic no 191 what is the answer to clue "was the chief in battle dress?" *e*? please help if you can
Hi cunliffe
My suggestion is "LED". From 'battLE Dress'. Led is past tense of lead, lead is also another word for main which in turn is another word for chief.
Maybe someone can verify or has another solution. I can't recall this clue coming up in our Lovatts Cryptic's in Australia as yet.
