Hi BeansOf57 & welcome to AB :-)

It's really helpful if you can post the full clue as not everyone will have the puzzle - this link should be of use -

You can add further info to this thread by using the "Your Answer..." box, rather than starting a new one.

Sorry about lack of info. Failings of a newbie. Clue is:
Eve faced poo spattering - not Trump's kind of bird (4,7)

It's

26a/2d 4,2,5

dove of peace

I won't bother giving the answer, seems we now link to completed grids.

I didn't get the memo.

Thanks to all. The 2/5 split was not flagged in the mag.

Hmm, I don't think it's great to give ALL the answers to a crossword when a solver is asking for help with only one.
