Confederate general finds shelter (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'confederate general' is the first definition.
(Robert E Lee, US civil war general)

'shelter' is the second definition.
(as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind)

'finds' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "actor" , "Commander of the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War" , "Area sheltered from the wind" , "The sheltered side - of Cork's river?" , "Confederate general" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
