Urgent probe launched after soldier dies at army training camp as colleagues share their ‘immense sadness’
AN URGENT probe has been launched after a soldier died at an army training camp as colleagues shared their “immense sadness”.
The unnamed soldier passed away at Sennybridge Training Area, a Ministry of Defence military training area in Powys, Wales, on September 20.
It is currently unknown how the soldier died and it will be investigated.
Sennybridge Training Area – or SENTA – covers approximately 31,000 acres of MoD freehold land.
It is the third largest military training area in the UK and was acquired by the War Office in 1939.
An Army spokesperson said: “It is with immense sadness that we can confirm the death of a soldier on 20th September 2023 at Sennybridge Training Area.
“Our thoughts are with the soldier’s family and friends at this difficult time and we ask that their privacy is respected.
“The circumstances surrounding this death will be investigated and it would be inappropriate to comment any further at this time.”
