CSL&RC PIC 2015/6: Eastwood album no.2

This photograph is one item within a small album containing 97 carte-de-visite photographs. The album appears to have been compiled by Thomas Wingate (1807-1869), sketcher, amateur photographer and army officer. Wingate's pencilled identifications appear on the album page below many of the photographs and the album includes a number of photographs taken by Wingate himself. The album also includes some photographs of Wingate's former fellow officers from the 2nd or Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot in which Wingate served from 1835 to 1846, stationed from 1835 until 1842 in India.
Henry Cole Faulkner was one of Wingate's fellow officers in the Queen's Royals, joining the regiment as a lieutenant on 26 July 1839, in an exchange from the 86th which he had entered as an ensign in November 1835. Faulkner married Rosalinda Frances Morewood in London in November 1839 before sailing to India with his wife to join the Queen's Royals. Their first child was born in Bombay in November 1840. Three more children were born in India before the Faulkners returned to England with the regiment at the end of 1845.
In 1849 Faulkner was promoted to captain on the unattached list and subsequently stationed at Belfast, Ireland, as Staff Officer of [Army] Pensioners. From Belfast he was transferred to Liverpool in August 1852. He was promoted to Major in November 1861 and to Lieutenant-Colonel in May 1872. He retired in June 1879 with the honorary rank of major-general.
This portrait of Faulkner is one of 5 photographs of members of the Faulkner family in this photograph album, all identified in the same hand, possibly that of Henry Cole Faulkner himself.
