Please explain these to me.
1.Apply new dressing. Ans realign. No idea
2. ... despite once being involved in action? Ans Contempt of court. [Previous clue was “Stand-in senior officer rejected with hesitation .... to which the answer was “locum”]. No idea again.
3. Unqualified to be considered by comprehensive. Ans absolute. I think both unqualified and comprehensive are absolute so can’t understand what “to be considered by” is doing there.

According to Chambers, an archaic meaning of “despite” is “to look down with contempt”.
Realign- align is to dress as in the army term 'right dress' to align a rank of soldiers.
