Those emptily referred to as the dead men? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bottles
'men?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bottles that I've seen is " Containers for liquid".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
