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.
Frank Faulkner was born in September 1848 in Glasgow, Scotland, the second son of Lieutenant Henry Cole Faulkner and his wife Rosalinda Frances Morewood. From 1839 until 1842 Henry Cole Faulkner was one of Wingate's fellow officers in the Queen's Royals serving in India. He returned to England with the regiment at the end on 1845 and 1849 was promoted to captain on the unattached list. In June 1867 Frank secured a commission as a second lieutenant in the Royal Marines in a competitive examination at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth. He was promoted to lieutenant a month later, retiring in October 1882 with the rank of Captain.
This portrait of Frank is one of five photographs of members of the Faulkner family in this photograph album, all identified in the same hand, possibly that of Henry Cole Faulkner himself. [MM, October 2017]
