'Kill, burn!', he explodes in battle (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

bunker hill

'battle' is the definition.
(Bunker Hill is an example)

'kill burn he explodes' is the wordplay.
'explodes' indicates anagramming the letters.
'kill'+'burn'+'he'='killburnhe'
'killburnhe' is an anagram of 'BUNKER HILL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for bunker hill that I've seen is " Battle".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
