History

Site of the No. 2 gun

From the mid through late 1930s, the western Singapore defenses were enhanced by the addition of two 15" guns at

Battle of Singapore and were partially destroyed by the retreating British in February 1942.[1]

The Japanese repaired the Number 2 gun during their occupation of Singapore. Since the war, the gun sites have been completely replaced by modern construction and no visible remnants remain.[2]
