Military Citation: Jean Luxford for the Cross of Llane

"Awarded the Cross of Llane for Stormwind""Sergeant Jean Rose Luxford, CSC"

For most conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in the face of overwhelming adversity in defense of Stormwind as part of His Majesty's Stormwind City Guard Constabulary Forces.

Stormwind City, Kingdom of Stormwind, 627 K.C."'Sergeant Luxford showed conspicuous honor and bravery during a recent battle, keeping the main hostile engaged long enough and distracted for a med-evac. Along with this, she was a crucial point in the success and leadership during the engagement.'"Sergeant Jean Rose Luxford enlisted into the Stormwind Army on 19 August 621 K.C. After completing recruit and specialisation training, she was posted to the King's Own Rifles Regiment, 3 Royal Rifles Regiment (3RR). Demonstrating keen rifle proficiency and environment survival, Private Luxford was deployed to an initial 6-month deployment to the Southern Barrens. During this deployment, she earned the Conspicuous Service Cross for commendable application of military skill while on deployment in the Barrens. Following this, Private Luxford was transferred to the Stormwind Guard for Military Attaché duties as a military training and policy observer. She later transferred full-time to the Constabulary and has served in the Stormwind City Brigade, 1 Guard Regiment (1GR), 11 Guard Regiment (11GR), Stormwind City Auxillary Militia (1SGAUX). She has since served with distinction in the 42nd Stormwind City Guard Regiment (42GR).

On 18 November 627 K.C., during a routine harbour patrol, Sergeant Luxford and her City Guard detail were attacked by a large contingent of belligerent criminal forces. The situation was engaged by a Private rating recklessly charging into the scene and initiating combat against the Sergeant's orders. She readied her detail and organized them into action. The detail was soon supressed by superior forces and the detailed suffered considerable casualties. With the patrol initiative lost, Sergeant Luxford ordered a retreat of her detail. During the attempted evacuation, several guards were caught in the combat and unable to retreat. In order to ensure the successful extraction of the wounded and remaining Guards, Sergeant Luxford deliberately took the enemy's attention and drew them away from the wounded. Fighting the enemy alone without any regard for her own life, Luxford bought enough time for a proper medical evacuation to occur.

She later assisted in providing basic medical care and organized her remaining troops to safety.

Sergeant Luxford's acts of gallantry in the face of immediate personal danger saved the lives of a number of City Guard officials and displayed conspicuous courage in dire circumstances. Her actions are of the highest accord and are in keeping with the traditions and values of His Majesty's Military and Constabulary forces.
