Hi Nina
Thanks for leading us to the Police Orders website which is, they state, an independent website set up to Met police history.
I wonder if Neal Sheldon is aware of this posting on the discussion boards on the Police Orders website?

My Great Grandfather's step-father was Walter Frederick Stride (Warrant No. 62349) who was nephew to Elizabeth Stride, Ripper victim, and one of those who identified her body. Any further information would be welcome.
Chris again. A to Z states that P.C. Stride joined the Met in 1878 and retired in 1902. He testified that he recognized in the mortuary photographs a woman who had married his uncle.
All the best
Chris

Nice picture Nina
Is it my imagination or is PS Thick on the front row wearing a horseshoe tie pin?
I suppose they must have been very fashionable at the time.

Thick looks exactly as he does in the Sourcebook photo. Is this latter an enlargement from the team photo? His clothes are of a lighter shade in the Sourcebook photo, but otherwise there's hardly any difference.

Hi Robert
I believe you are correct that it is the same photograph. Stewart Evans and Nick Connell used the team photograph in their The Man Who Hunted Jack the Ripper (2000) about Inspector Reid, so it was natural for Stewart to use the close-up of Thick in The Ultimate JtR Sourcebook (2001) that he wrote with Keith Skinner.
All the best

Thanks Chris. If appearances are anything to go by, Thick looks extremely focused.

The chapter on "Johnny Upright" in London's People of the Abyss reminds me of Tolkien's chapter on Tom Bombadil.
Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho!

In reference to the horseshoe tie pin Thick is wearing. one need only look at the facing page in The Ultimate JtR Sourcebook to see that Major Henry Smith of the City of London Police wears a horseshoe tie pin as well. This would suggest that they certainly were not rare. Just an observation. |

Allow me to correct my previous post. I should have specified The Ultimate JtR Companion. And the photos I refer to are on the second and third pages of photos following Page 116 in the original hard cover edition.
