River of N France, WW battlefield (5)

I believe the answer is:

somme

(Other definitions for somme that I've seen before include "French river known from World War 1" , "1916 battleground" , "WW1 battle site" , "River of northern France" , "Scene of WW One battles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
