Young Ralph Joscelyne and police officer William Tyler were gunned down by two armed robbers in 1909 as they tried to make a getaway through the streets of Tottenham.

A blue plaque to commemorate his death was erected on the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd, in Mitchley Road, on Sunday, January 23.

Tottenham historian Janet Harris, who has written a book on the Tottenham Outrage, said: “A lot of sympathy and column inches were paid to PC Tyler, whereas Ralph was pretty much ignored. One newspaper even referred to him as ‘the boy’.

“We thought it was right to commemorate Ralph by putting up a blue plaque in his memory. Tottenham people have shown that we never forget when young lives are cruelly taken from us, even 102 years on.”

Father Simon Morris, curate at the church, unveiled the plaque alongside crowds of more than 60 residents, including Ralph’s great nephew Shaun Nettleship.

He hailed it as a “reminder of the cruel consequences of violence”.
