This is a life-size memorial statue of Edmund Troup Randle at his gravesite in Union Springs, Alabama. Know as Troup, he was First Lieutenant of Company D of the 3rd Alabama Infantry when he was wounded at Turner’s Gap on South Mountain in September 1862. He was their Captain when his right arm was mangled in action at Chancellorsville in May 1863.

This is Thomas Jefferson Carver, Jr who enlisted in April 1861, age 18, as a Private in the 3rd Alabama Infantry. Known as Jeff, he was among the very first Confederate troops to cross the Potomac into Maryland at the start of the Campaign on 4 September 1862. He was seriously wounded at Turner’s Gap on the 14th and later had commissioned service. This photograph of him in a Lieutenant’s uniform was contributed to Findagrave by Charles B Moore (?).

On this 1907 questionnaire, Henry W Miller, late Private in the 26th Alabama Infantry, related a small story of how he was cared for by a Federal soldier after he had been wounded at Turner’s Gap on 14 September 1862. He was then just 16 years old. He was sent home, disabled, after he was exchanged in May 1863.
