Great War
Powell took over as acting commander of Queen on 19 September, 1916 during the sick leave of Commander George M. A. Rowe.
Powell was admitted to Royal Naval Hospital, South Queensferry on 5 June, 1919 with hemorrhoids. Things went terribly and gangrene set in. He died there on 19 June, 1919.
