Island commander packing angry wound (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madagascar

'island' is the definition.
(Madagascar is an example)

'commander packing angry wound' is the wordplay.
'commander' becomes 'aga' (I've seen this before).
'packing' indicates putting letters inside.
'angry' becomes 'mad' ('mad' can be similar in meaning to 'angry'**).
'wound' becomes 'scar' (I've seen this before).
'mad'+'scar'='madscar'
'aga' put inside 'madscar' is 'MADAGASCAR'.

(Other definitions for madagascar that I've seen before include "Part of Africa" , "Island off SE Africa" , "Large island off the east coast of Africa" , "foreign location" , "Island republic in the Indian Ocean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
