US army officer who met his end at Little Bighorn (6)

I believe the answer is:

custer

(Other definitions for custer that I've seen before include "General killed by Sioux" , "Massacred US general" , "Ill-fated US general" , "Little Bighorn loser" , "US cavalry leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
