Lieutenant Albert Moses Luria, named in honor of Moses's ancestor Luria, was the third son of Raphael and Elisa Matilda Moses. His surname is Luria not Moses. This is not uncommon for Jews.
Albert, only 18 years old, enlisted in the Confederate States Army on 17 June 1861 and was mustered in service on 13 July 1861. He was elected 2nd Lieutenant when he enlisted. He was wounded on 31 May 1862 at the Battle of Seven Pines in Virginia after courageously throwing a live Union artillery shell out of his fortification before it exploded, thereby saving the lives of many of his compatriots. Several records found in his CMSR that states he was killed in action on 31 May 1862 but a record is found showing him at Byrd Island Hospital, subsequently known as General Hospital No.3, in Richmond, Virginia showing he was wounded in the head and died 2 June 1862.
Albert was the first Confederate Jew to die in battle; the last was his first cousin, Joshua Lazarus Moses, of Sumter, South Carolina, killed on the day Lee surrendered, firing the last shots in defense of Mobile, Alabama.
