21d To a man

24 Bum f

I would say it's 'to a man' (without exception), the empire being maybe Ottoman?

A bum is a sponger, so bum-f is a female sponger!

21d To a man (in Chambers this is under 'man' with the definition of 'without exception')

Yes - 24d Bumf - that's one of the spellings of bumph in Chambers - the sponger is the bum and he comes before (on) f (for female) - a typical, slightly crude clue for Paul and that does give themrmals for the warm clothes.

21d TO A MAN

a (one) inside to man, ottoman without ot (old time)

24d BUMF is right. Bum=sponger on F for female

26a THERMALS

Jollies another word for ThE RM (Royal Marines), ALS is also=too, restricted

Many thanks, all of you. I had no idea the royal marines were called jollies, I was thinking of parties!
