Jack the Ripper investigator from 1888: Plan for cemetery headstone

Inspector Edmund Reid -
hunted Jack  the Ripper in 1888
There is a campaign to give policeman Edmund Reid who hunted Jack the Ripper a proper headstone.

Canterbury-born detective Edmund Reid was at the centre of the infamous Jack the Ripper investigation, before moving to Herne Bay where he led an equally fascinating life.

Now, after a century resting in a pauper’s grave, a campaign has been launched to give him the permanent headstone he deserves.
