Racing colours
The story
The clues
This puzzle is a ‘Twofer’. Do not cross off vertically in the ten-item column until you know two answers in any single column. You still cross off horizontally as each colour is still used only once.

Five army officers, named Briggs, Bliss, Bristow, Brighton and Brindle, were all different ranks. They were a general, a colonel, a major, a captain and a lieutenant. They all owned racing stables. The racing colours for each officer were a combination of two colours. No officers shared the same two colours in any way. Based on the clues, match the officers’ names with their rank and the two individual colours of their racing stables. Remember, when you are working on the colours you cannot cross off vertically until you have identified two answers in a vertical column. However, you still must cross off horizontally in order to eliminate possibilities.
