River giving name to 1916 battle (5)

I believe the answer is:

somme

(Other definitions for somme that I've seen before include "runner" , "French river known from World War 1" , "French river, scene of 1916 battles" , "Scene of WW One battles" , "European river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
