tony I can't help with either of those two, my original train of thought for the second one was some sort of officer in the first world war, i am now going down a different road (probably get totally lost) i am thinking of the programme 'the office' and also a film called 'the trench' and am trying to find a link there, if i manage to crack it will let you know.
Benidick
Burberry made the original trenchcoat, but that's not a forename? Any ideas for tinned meat down under (7,4)?
Question Author
I am thinking Gervaise but cannot find a link to "THE TRENCH". Sorry no luck with TINNED MEAT
thought I'd given you Benedict for belated bridegroom?

wonderval is correct with Benedict. See this definition:

ben�e�dict (bn-dkt)
n.
A newly married man who was previously considered a confirmed bachelor.

[After Benedick, a character in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare.]
Clutching at straws here, but if you read this article you will find a MONTAGUE who signed up for army service only to spend the war writing propaganda in an office. (Montague is a forename as well as a surname is it not?)

Thanks ont-ice maks more sense than anything I have been able to come upwith. This years quiz is certainly proving to be a tough one.
Well, I don't have access to the quiz itself so have to go on what clues you give and with not knowing what went before etc., I am sometimes out in left field.
