3a crucifer

[Lie-in King]

3a Crucifer - a cross-bearer in procession & cress is a cruciferous plant

6 Forks? I'm not sure if you get 'for' in the question and then in the answer

[chelle7272]

Yes sandyroe is right
for ks (kansas)

[rich47]

Many thanks chelle, Lie-in King and sandy roe ... think the other one is reefer

[chelle7272]

I wondered about that rich47, but don't get the 'snotty' part of the clue

[sandyRoe]

was a 'snotty' a midshipman in the RN? Wore a reefer jacket?

[chelle7272]

Thanks sandy it is indeed a midshipman, it makes sense now.

[mike11111]

Reefer and snotty are slang naval terms for a midshipman.

[chelle7272]

Thanks mike, I'd not heard of the term snotty with reference to midshipmen before.
