Eleven Empty Spaces – An Oral History of the Bombing of the
Royal Marines School of Music
As part of Dover Museum’s oral history project ‘Eleven Empty
Spaces’ to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the
bombing at the Royal Marines Barracks in Deal, the Museum is
looking for items of interest you may have that could be part of a
special exhibition.
Project organisers are holding special open days at the Museum
on 3 and 10 February between 1 and 4pm, where you can bring along
any artifacts you would be willing to lend, or any pictures or
images that could be scanned and displayed.
The exhibition will be about the events of that day, along with
a more general history of the Marines in Deal, and the aftermath of
the bombing. This is part of the wider oral history project,
in remembrance of the eleven young men who were so tragically
killed.
The exhibition is due to take place this summer. For more
information on the project, please contact Dover Museum on 01304
