Camp Sibert
Camp Sibert was a U.S. Army chemical weapons training facility in Etowah County, Alabama and St. Clair County, Alabama during the World War II era. Covering 32,000 acres it was acquired by the Army in 1942. The site has been redeveloped including with a residential community. Concerns over chemical contamination and unexploded ordinance remain.
The camp was commanded by General Haig Shekerjian, an Armenian-American. Private A. Baligian of the U.S. Army visited Camp Sibert and conducted a brief interview with Shekerjian for the June 16, 1943 issue of Hairenik Weekly.
