Also having trouble parsing 5d. call reserve about sailor, like those who go to war. BELLICOSE. I know the word and I get bell for call. That's it.

5d: reserve = ICE, sailor = O.S. [ordinary seaman]
bellicose - bell (Call) + os (Ordinary seaman) in ice (cool)
a cool bit of parsing there danny and bibblebub.
call= bell reserve= ice sailor = os
hello sailor
I had bellicose too but also had trouble parsing it all. Never known the word 'ice' to mean 'reserve'.
Question Author
Many thanks you all. Of a mindset here. I guessed that ice was the reserve bit. But always think ABS, TAR or RN for sailor. Cheers.
