'one who makes a resting-place' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'solemn australian' is the wordplay.
'solemn' becomes 'grave' (grave can mean solemn or serious).
'australian' becomes 'digger' (term for an Australian soldier in World War I).
'grave'+'digger'='GRAVEDIGGER'

'for' is the link.
