wreath

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bunch of flowers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'found in the war' is the wordplay.
'found in' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'war'='thewar'
'thewar' is an anagram of 'WREATH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wreath that I've seen before include "26 Down may be shaped into this decorative ring" , "Circle of flowers used at funerals" , "Circle of flowers in honour of dead" , "A circle of flowers as for grave" , "outdoor Christmas decoration" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
