from the Tower of London web page (who knew?).

On the night of 23 September 1940, high-explosive bombs were dropped on the Tower, destroying a large section of the Mint and the Old Hospital Block to the east of the White Tower.

More raids followed. On 5 October a bomb struck the fortress, blowing apart the massive North Bastion and narrowly missing the White Tower. Tragically, Yeoman Warder Reeves was killed in the blast.
