General who put the French right on the map (3)
I believe the answer is:
lee
'general' is the definition.
(Robert E. Lee - US revolutionary commander)
'put the french right on the map' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the french' could be 'le' ('the' in French) and 'le' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'who' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "The side that's sheltered from the wind" , "Commander of the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War" , "actor" , "Protection" , "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" .)
