A rather testing one this week to get me started
6/3/5/12/19a (2,4,2,6,3,5, 3,4,22)

I'm a homely generous sort joining a terribly fearsome infantry according to Mark

for the 12bit I have A?O ?A?Y

Make of that what you can

[ladyalex]

Do you mean 22 or 2, 2 at the end ?

[dave1948]

Sorry 2,2

[ladyalex]

Not that I have any idea yet..... :-((

[ladyalex]

Looks as though it should have 'host' and perhaps also 'angels' in it if that helps.

[quinie]

Sorry,I can't make anything of it. Are there two separate clues ?

[dave1948]

Thank you Lady Alex Working on other clues the picture looks like

?? ???? ?S ???I?N ?O?T? ??E A?O ?A?Y ?? ??

Where did you think host and angels would fit ?

[ladyalex]

Sorry, still cannot help you. Had just thought that 'hosts' would be a likely word as it occurs in biblical quotations and describes a 'homely generous sort'
'angels' I thought in relation to the 'fearsome infantry ' bit

[chelle7272]

I had considered there may be a couple of anagrams included - 'fearsome infantry' perhaps, but I am still struggling with this one too

[bibblebub]

My name is legion for there are many of us

[ladyalex]

bibblebub to the rescue again!

[bibblebub]

the original is something like that

[dave1948]

I have found it The answer is My name is Legion for there are many of us !

Thank you all for your efforts and it's not finished yet

[slaney]

I think it may begin with "My name is legion for" (St Mark) - it should then be "for we are many" but that doesn't quite fit your letters.

[slaney]

Oops -sorry answered the telephone while typing - well done!

[dave1948]

Thank you to bibblebub and slaney.

I found the answer and did not check back. The clue was obscure and took aa lot of finding though I must say that as always Answerbank got there in the end
