10a Take "ant" (worker) out of "sergeant" (officer) leaves serge = twilled fabric
18a entail - anagram of "latin" and "e" (fifth letter of alphabet)
8d Ready to drop
10a Serge.... Serge(ant)
18a Entail...Fifth rate=E+ anag Latin
8d Ready to drop
serge - ant is the officer, less ant (worker) is serge

18a - entail if you have the a in the wrong place

8d ready to drop ?
10a Reason is SERGEANT minus worker ie ANT =s SERGE

18a ENTAIL Anagram of Latin + E (5th)

8d READY TO DROP
That's not very accurate as a question - a sergeant is not an officer, he's an NCO.
SirJ what does the O stand for in NCO then ?
