The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is Wartime leader, which is Field Marshal Montgomery. For the wordplay, start with GORY (covered in blood) and tuck ME (the writer) inside it to get GOMERY. Then stick that on the end of MONT, the French word for a mountain, or elevation.
