An honour that has to be fought for (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
campaign medal
'an honour that has to be fought for' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.
'honour that has to be fought for' is the wordplay.
'honour' becomes 'medal' (medal is a kind of honour).
'that has' says to put letters next to each other.
'to be fought for' becomes 'campaign' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'medal' after 'campaign' is 'CAMPAIGN MEDAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
