Brown, Randall L. | 20 | Male | Death | Not recorded |
Army Private Randall L. Brown (20) was killed by a cave-in of dirt while exploring a cave near Fort Rucker. A companion, Private Daniel A. Harvey, tried unsuccessfully to rescue him before a rescue team removed the body two hours later.
The newspaper article gave no description of the cave. An accident like this would be more likely to occur in a mine shaft than a limestone cave.
