"Where" refers to "the site of a recent battle"; that is, the place where the recent battle was fought.

那个美国老师从本质上解释是正确的,他说: This was the site of a recent battle where thousands of soldiers had died.但是你仔细一想他依然用你提问的"格式",即你原本不明白的 "where……died"回答了,其实你没有达到你想询问的正确答案,我也经常提问英语问题,希望直接回答,但是大多数都是"翻译意思"儿没有从语法上精确答复,我来回答关于where 引导关系副词的问题,where引导关系副词并非代表前面的名词,而是以对应该名词的"副词短语"形式(大多数以介词短形式,其中,介词短语的宾语为先行词),在引导定语从句中做壮族,where = in which , at which ,on which, from which…等,具体介词不是固定,需要从定语从句中具体该壮语的情况决定,例如 :
Where those cars are going over that little bridge down there where those lights is where the floodwall is.
这儿出现了2个where, where = in/at on some place ,从语法上讲,必须是一个介词短语的形式理解,而不是一个表示地点的名词理解,这样才可以理解各种所谓疑难的where语法精髓,例如上句中,就可以明白意思(我的译文)是:
那些汽车经过那坐小桥再向下行驶的地方,就在这儿,出现了许多灯,这个地方也是防洪堤的地方
