Death of a soldier due to training accident at Fort Knox in the summer of 1995

Hi,

I searched everywhere for the death of Sgt Anthony Powell - even expanded the date without any results - finally found this mention of a Sgt Everette Powell's death in July 1994 - could this be the man you are looking for?

Courier-Journal (Louisville KY) July 13 1994 p.11

- nothing else found in papers

- Maybe someone can give you information on Army accident investigation files

Sad story. - Thanks for your service.

Thank you so much! This is it. My fault on the first name, I can't thank you enough. How would I go about finding the date it happened and where would I search for the Army accident investigation files?

The newspaper article has the answer to WHEN - indicating the incident happened about 5pm on July 12 1994.  Also note the spelling of his first name is different on his gravestone vs. the spelling in the newspaper - you will want the correct spelling when requesting records

- As for getting accident investigation reports...often doing a search on History Hub will find you an answer given to someone who asked a similar question in the past.  Look at the responses to these previous posted questions as I believe they will  give you an answer your question
