<DIV>I still need 10a, 11a, 19a, 2d, 3d, and 5d if anyone can help please.

<DIV>Thanks.
For 3 down I have Menin - men in (cricket) facing the bowling and I believe the Menin Gate was a famous battlefield in WW1
For 5 down I have batiste which is a kind of material and is baste (tack) holding it upside down.
I could only think of sponge for 9 ac but it hasn't helped me with 2dn, 4 dn or 11 ac I'm finding this puzzle particularly difficult. For 10 ac I have tantalus - this was a container which stopped the servants nicking the booze, so you could call it a case for prohibition
Any other help would be greatly appreciated
