Charlotte perhaps meeting sick war hero (9)
I believe the answer is:
churchill
'charlotte' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'meeting sick war hero' is the wordplay.
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'sick' becomes 'ill' (synonyms).
'war hero' becomes 'church' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ill' put after 'church' is 'CHURCHILL'.
'perhaps' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for churchill that I've seen before include "Wartime PM" , "Winston . . . . . . . . ., English PM war leader" , "Former statesman" , "PM and Nobel prize winner" , "Old leader" .)
