My dad had an uncle named Marion Crocket Hounchell who served in the Spanish American War under Major General Lawton. When his first child was born, he named him Major General Lawton Hounchell. He was called Lawton. When he grew up, he joined the army, and became a career soldier, rising to the rank of Sergean Major. His full rank and name were Sergeant Major Major General Lawton Hounchell. No kidding. Honest Injin. That's the truth.
