EDITORS COMMENTS
This wanted poster from 1963 features the image and personal details of Ronald Buster Edwards, one of the key figures in the Great Train Robbery that took place on August 8, 1963. The daring heist saw a gang of 15 robbers intercept a train carrying a large sum of money from Glasgow to London, making off with an estimated £2.6 million (approximately £54 million in today's currency). Edwards, who was born on April 27, 1933, was a career criminal with a long history of burglary and robbery convictions. The poster, which bears the words "Wanted for questioning in connection with the Great Train Robbery" and offers a reward for information leading to his capture, highlights Edwards' criminal record and physical description. The image used is a mugshot taken prior to the train robbery, showcasing his young, handsome appearance that belied his criminal activities. The Great Train Robbery was a significant event in British criminal history, capturing the public's imagination and sparking widespread media attention. The gang, led by Bruce Reynolds, managed to evade capture for several years, but Edwards was eventually arrested in 1965 and sentenced to 30 years in prison. The incident led to increased security measures for transporting large sums of money and brought about changes in the criminal justice system, including the introduction of the Police Act 1964 and the establishment of the National Crime Squad. This wanted poster serves as a reminder of the audacious nature of the Great Train Robbery and the lengths that law enforcement went to in their pursuit of the criminals involved. The image of Ronald Buster Edwards, with his young, innocent-looking face and the ominous words "Wanted for questioning," encapsulates the intrigue and mystery surrounding one of the most infamous crimes in British history.
