A fine full-length photograph of Alfred Turner, 4th North Carolina Infantry as published by Greg Mast in his State Troops and Vounteers: A Photographic Record of North Carolina’s Civil War Soldiers.

Turner was captured at Boonsboro, MD on 15 September 1862, the day after the Regiment fought in the defense at Fox’s Gap on South Mountain. He was exchanged in November 1862, but never returned to his regiment.
