Confederate general finds shelter (3)
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" .)
