Soldier very bitter over identical issue getting high (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anticyclone

'high' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'soldier very bitter over identical issue' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this before).
'very bitter' becomes 'icy'.
'over' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'identical issue' becomes 'clone' (issue or offspring cloned from a parent).
'ant'+'icy'+'clone'='ANTICYCLONE'

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for anticyclone that I've seen before include "Swirl in the atmosphere" , "Circulating weather system" , "High-pressure weather system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
