OIC, It's about 40 years since I fell asleep in Latin class but the translation for the quote is:
"I have a catapult. Give me all the money or I will fling an enormous rock at your head"
Fairly typical squaddie comment.

Actually you were more or less spot on. You were totally right about 'saxum' being salt. To make the quote work however you have to consider salt as money, which of course you and I know is true in any case.

Steve me old oppo................Always remember?? and I quote!
The lower creatures of the land,God called Soldiers.And with a twinkle in his eye,and a sense of humour God gave them trousers too short,and jackets to large,and pockets to warm their hands.
And to adorn their uniforms,God gave them cords,and he gave them ribbons...and patches...and stars...and bells.He gave them emblems...and crests...and all sorts of shiny things that glittered...and devices that dangled...when your God you tend to get carried away.
Oh and I forgot he gave them service histories so they could start a thread of which no one is interested in.Here endeth the lesson.Aye jr
