Stuck on one: 23d: River, rapid roller near battlefield, one in spate.

There seems to be only one possibility, but I can't fathom out how it fits the clue, especially the reference to a battlefield. Can anybody elucidate, please?

This may help

Thank you very much - and a free history lesson, as well. Thank you again.

You're welcome

Just appeared on a different forum is this quote :



''Hohenlinden' by Thomas Campbell, describes the Battle of Hohenlinden (1800), contains the lines:

But redder yet that light shall glow
On Linden's hills of stainèd snow,
And bloodier yet the torrent flow
Of Iser, rolling rapidly.
