Lighter, that translation is what I thought, and writing it after driving home meant I was remembering the Latin through that filter, hence lack of grammar - which I was bothered about. It did seem to me that it was the sort of motto which would go with a group like Commandos, or the Paras. This visit I will take paper - though I'm not sure today is a day for leaning out of a high window.

It was an arched crown. Like the King symbol in chess.

And if anyone has an idea about how to scrape it off, I'd be grateful. I'm a pacifist!
