In one of the battle of this campaign when the troops of the 119th successfully repulsed the Orcs' attack, they unexpectedly came under charge from the [[Stompa]], which came to the aid of the Orcish troops. Inspired by its appearing, the Orcs again launched a full-scale offensive, threatening to overthrow the Cadians' battle formations. At this point, [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Veteran Sergeant]] [[Gruis]] of the [[VI Demolition Engineers]] tried to stop the Stompa. Together with his subordinates - [[Ptes Stanlin]] and [[Datery]] they took all explosives they could takefind, after which the brave ones managed to get close to Stompa and blow themselves up right next to her legs.

Darius]] of the 119th Cadian requested submit to the award posthumously: Gruis to [[Silver Aquilla]], and [[Ptes Stanlin]] and [[Datery]] to [[Bronze Aquilla]].{{Fn|1}}
