Civilians and Military killed/injured in Dover air raids 1914-18 (and location of event)

The list below was compiled by Mark Frost of The Dover Museum

Unlike WW2 civilian casualties, there is no memorial to, or even a definitive list of, civilian deaths in Dover and most of them were women and children. The military deaths do not feature on the Dover War Memorial of course (most were not local men) although many of them are buried in local cemeteries. Mark Frost.


I myself hope to add more information to Mark`s  list in time, if you have anything to add please send it to me and I will give you the credit.
