The army, in the sense that in his preferred regiments he put:

  1. Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
  2. Black Watch

Well this hasnt been posted on in awhile. Who said this quote “(blank on purpose)… give me back my legions.” ? Also state about what event and where? Fill in the blank too? Hints will be given if needed but I seriously doubt it.

Caesar Augustus: “Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!” …
Quintilius Varus was appointed by Augustus to conquer and govern Germania.
His legions lured into Teutonic Forest were annihilated by Germanic tribes.
Varus committed suicide and his severed head preserved in pot of honey, was send to Rome.
Seutonius - Roman historian wrote that when Varus head was taken out of honey pot, Augustus cried: “Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!”…
There is another version that Augustus actually said “Quintillius Varus, where are my eagles?”…
This version point to legion’s standards lost to Germans in Teutonic Forest.

It was very easy…
