French general and president (2,6)

I believe the answer is:

de gaulle

'french general and president' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for de gaulle that I've seen before include "French general/president" , "Gen. -, French leader" , "Charles -, French president" , "Ex-president" , "Free French leader" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
