Protecting Singapore

Phil protecting Singapore's south coast from invasion by pedalos ...



A 6-inch Quick Firing gun found on the site of the Beach Road Camp and similar to the 6-inch Rifled Bridge Loading guns deployed at Labrador Battery to halt the Japanese pedalo invasion of 1942 (the Japanese sensibly arrived overland on bicycles instead)

The entrance to one of many underground ammunition dumps at the British fort, long since bricked up. Dated 1892.
