Combat feature displayed by today’s grid? (3,5,2,3,7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all quiet on the western front

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

'today's grid?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'combat feature' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'feature' could be 'western' (Western is an example) and 'western' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'displayed by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for all quiet on the western front that I've seen is " according to wartime account".)

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