Jack Field Crumbles Murder

This somber photograph captures Jack Field, escorted by police as he arrives at the Lewes Assizes on December 14, 1920. Field was one of the two men convicted for the infamous Crumbles murder, a gruesome crime that shocked post-war Britain. Alongside William Gray, he lured 17-year-old Irene Munro to her death on the bleak Eastbourne coastline in August of that year.

The case gripped the public imagination — not only for its brutality, but also because it came at a time when Britain was still reeling from World War I and struggling with rising crime and social dislocation.
