General Small the one she loves? (7)
I believe the answer is:
sherman
'general' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'small the one she loves?' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'the one she' becomes 'her' (I've seen this in other clues).
'loves?' becomes 'man' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
's'+'her'+'man'='SHERMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sherman that I've seen before include "US general, marched through Georgia" , "William -, US Civil War general (Atlanta)" .)
