Place in military band for display that's newsworthy (6)
I believe the answer is:
splash
'display that's newsworthy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'place in military band' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'military band' becomes 'sash' (sash is a kind of band. I am not sure about the 'military' bit.**).
'pl' put within 'sash' is 'SPLASH'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for splash that I've seen before include "Cause liquid to fly about in drops" , "Effect of fall into water" , "Make liquid fly around" , "Small amount of something liquid" , "Sound of an object hitting liquid" .)
