... sad songs recalling date army charged on shed (7)
I believe the answer is:
elegies
'sad songs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'recalling date army charged on shed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'on' could be 'leg' (cricket term, fielding positions) and 'leg' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elegies that I've seen before include "Mourning songs" , "Lamenting poems" , "Laments for the dead" , "Poems of mourning" .)
