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.
Dr James Jopp was one of Wingate's fellow officers in India, appointed Assistant Surgeon in the Queen's Royals in February 1839. In January 1847 he was appointed Surgeon of the 36th Regiment of Foot, where in February 1859, having completed twenty years full-pay service, he was promoted to Surgeon-Major. Jopp exchanged to the 76th Foot in June 1863, and in May 1864 he retired on half-pay with the honorary rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals. Jopp died in Edinburgh on 3 February 1882. He was born in Aberdeen in 1810, son of advocate Andrew Jopp and his wife Margaret Abercrombie. [MM, October 2017]
