Rely on nerve, where there are many dead men (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

bottle bank

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'there are many dead men' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rely on nerve' is the wordplay.
'rely' becomes 'bank'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nerve' becomes 'bottle' (I've seen this before).
'bank' put after 'bottle' is 'BOTTLE BANK'.

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bottle bank that I've seen before include "Where glass containers can be recycled" , "Possibly dead men saved here" , "recycling facility" , "smashing location" , "Glass recycling store" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
