While recuperating, Bragg and four other Troopers volunteered to accompany [[Colonel]] [[Colm Corbec|Corbec]] and [[Captain (Imperial Guard)|Captain]] [[Ban Daur|Daur]] to the [[Shrinehold of Saint Sabbat]] after the officers had experienced visions of [[Saint Sabbat|the Sabbat Martyr]], in defiance of the Guardsmens' orders to evacuate Hagia in the face of incoming [[Chaos]] reinforcements.{{Fn|5b}} Along the way, Bragg struck up a friendship with Trooper [[Niceg Vamberfeld|Vamberfeld]], one of the new [[Verghast]]ite recruits drafted into the regiment following the Siege of Vervunhive. Corbec asked Bragg to watch Vamberfeld, who had been suffering from [[Wikipedia:PTSD|severe mental stress]].{{Fn|5c}}
Eventually the Guardsmen reached the Shrinehold and met up with the rest of the honour guard, who were defending themselves against an army of the Infardi that had followed them up into the [[Sacred Hills]].{{Fn|5d}} During a lull in the fighting, Vamberfeld made his way to the shrine's sepulchre, clutching a [[jiddi-stick]] that he had found on the journey, convinced that it was the Saint's own (Sabbat having been born to a lowly [[chelon]] herder). Bragg followed Vamberfeld and tried to calm him down, but they were confronted by [[Denil Greer|Greer]], the driver that Captain Daur had coerced into operating [[Wounded Wagon|the Chimera]] that they had taken to get to the Shrinehold. Daur had convinced Greer that the Guardsmen were actually journeying into the hills to retrieve a stash of gold ingots hidden by [[ayatani]] priests and Greer, who by this point was practically delirious from exhaustion, believed that Bragg and Vamberfeld were trying to steal the gold from him. Although Bragg and Vamberfeld tried to persuade him, Greer shot both of them with his [[autopistol]].{{Fn|5e}} The Tanith [[medic]]s were able to resuscitate Bragg, however.{{Fn|5f}}{{Fn|6}}
