Albert was inducted Sept 1 1862 served as PVT with Co A 11th Vt Reg INF. He was mortally wounded on June 23 1864 at the First Battle of Waldon Railroad (known as Gurley's Farm by Confederate forces)in what undoubtedly was the worst day of the war for Vermont troops. Vermont sharpshooters and Co A were placed to cover the attempt to severe the Waldon RR, a supply line for Confederates at Petersburg, VA. Their position was inadequately supported so the Confederate counterattack surrounded and overwhelmed the Vermont soldiers. One report says the troops did well but ran out of ammunition and had to surrender. Of tbe 500 Vermont men taken prisoner that day nearly 60% died at Andersonville. Albert fell that day but lingered until Aug 20th. [this date differs from that on his stone]Daystcat supplies the following:His death notice in the Vermont Journal, Sept. 3, 1864 is brief.
