I remember it now. A town south of Chicago if memory serves. And once described to me by a (prejudiced?) Chicagoan friend as a city where one had about equal chances of dying from terminal boredom or multiple gunshot wounds. And then Indiana Jones of course which explains the question mark. Thank you, CrazyJ.

The first one, 11a, included ’1805 battle’ which misled me into thinking of Trafalgar. Although I didn’t solve it immediately, it put me into Spanish mode so when I got to the next, an anagram of JANE for an 1806 battle, I confidently entered JAEN. (There has indeed been a battle of JAEN, just not in 1806…) And this was cleared up by the next JANE, which led to Cassandra, and which put me straight and took me to an altogether different part of Europe for the first two.

Other ticks for Male = COCK in cocktails, and Male = BUCK in buckled. And for the crossing and cross-referenced NYALA and NYASALAND.

A pleasure as always. Thanks to Pete and Cincinnus.

Jones? then points to Indiana Jones.
