Battle site in France (5)
I believe the answer is:
somme
'battle site in france' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for somme that I've seen before include "French 2 down" , "First World War battlefield" , "Battle site in France" , "1916 battleground" , "French river, scene of 1916 battles" .)
