Officers such as Lee (6)

I believe the answer is:

majors

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'officers' is the definition.
(major is a kind of officer)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for majors that I've seen is " Army officers".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
