Can't parse these last two!
20a Criticised a diplomat's skill cutting discussion (8) ??T?C?E? (is it ATTACKED?)
12d Servicemen, lacking experience, summoned up energy in conflict (7) W?R???E. (Is it WARFARE?) I'm thinking "Servicemen" might be waiters, perhaps!

Sorry. For "CUTTING" read "DURING"
20 Yes, it sounds like A Tact, a diplomat's skill.
war .....raf ...royal air force reversed ...e = energy
12d: WARFARE [conflict]

servicemen = R.A.F., lacking experience = RAW
summoned up = put those^ backwards = WAR FAR
energy = E
Question Author
Thanks both. See it now. Just twigged that "lacking experience, summoned up" is RAW or WAR reversed.
