Well, you're hitting on a regiment that has little "in print" information available. These include:
(1) Harvey Hobbs Henderson. Wilie Hill Pope (1816-1874) Columbiana, Shelby County, Alabama, captain, Confederate States Army commanding Company "C", the "Shelby Confederates", 25th Alabama Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Sep 1, 1861 to Jan 1, 1863, Company "B", 3rd Alabama Regiment--Confederate Reserves Apr 15, 1864 to Jun 6, 1865. El Cajon, CA : H. H. Henderson, 1995;
(2) Wilson P. Howell. History of the 25th Alabama Infantry Regiment, 1861-1865 : a narrative. Comp. and ed. by Steven L. Driskell, 1997 [from a manuscript in the GA Dept of Archives and History]; and
(3) William H. Moore, "Writing home to Talladega : a young lieutenant's letters to a girl in Alabama ...", in Civil War Times Illustrated, vol. 28 (Nov.-Dec., 1990), pp. 56, 71-74, 76-78.

The AL Dept of Archives and History will have a unit history folder with various and sundry bits of information (if you visit Montgomery). And, there is a fairly detailed webpage with the history of the 25th by
William P. Howell (#2, above) online.
