The 2nd Alabama Light Artillery Battalion, Companies “A”-“F”, was formed at Mobile in January 1862, with five companies later reduced to three. It was attached to the Department of the Gulf, and after January, 1864, the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The unit was stationed at or near Mobile throughout the war and participated in the conflicts at Forts Gaines and Morgan, Spanish Fort, and Fort Blakely. With 64 officers and men, it surrendered on 4 May 1865.
The company was organized and mustered into Confederate service on 1 November 1861. Attached to the command of Brig. Gen’l Louis Hebert, the company saw service in Vicksburg and surrendered with the army on 4 July 1863, where they were also paroled. Ultimately stationed at Mobile, they were surrendered at the close of the war by Lt. Gen’l Richard Taylor at Citronelle, AL, on 4 May 1865.
