Walter MacModel is the great-great-grandson of a semi well-known former
Scottish field marshal who invented the all-out Highland panzer charge against the Soviet invaders of the vast parts of Scotland situated east of the Ukraine. Unfortunalely, in a fit of meaningless boredom he bit his own bullet and died of lead poisoning leaving behind
his wife and two semi-grieving children. For that matter his great-great-grandson shows no greater potential, although he was once a runner-up in a primary school spelling contest.
