I object, with the guys, to the reminder (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

memento

'the reminder' is the definition.
(I know that memento is a type of reminder)

'i object with the guys to' is the wordplay.
'i object' becomes 'me'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the guys' becomes 'men' (guy can mean a man).
'me'+'men'+'to'='MEMENTO'

(Other definitions for memento that I've seen before include "might be kept for sentimental reasons" , "This reminds" , "Keepsake or souvenir" , "Reminder of a person or event" , "Object kept as a souvenir" .)

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