Here members salute (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

present arms

'salute' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'here members' is the wordplay.
'here' becomes 'present' ('present' can be similar in meaning to 'here').
'members' becomes 'arms' (arm is a kind of member).
'present'+'arms'='PRESENT ARMS'

(Other definitions for present arms that I've seen before include "Raise a weapon in salute" , "order needed" , "Hold rifle vertically as a salute" , "offer to restore Venus de Milo?" , "Military drill command" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
