Serapong Battery on top of Mount Serapong

In 1885 Plans were drawn up to construct a two gun 8 Inch BL Gun Battery on the top of Mount Serapong but it was only 2 years later, it was armed and ready.
In 1907, the Report of the Committee on Harbour Defences Abroad, headed by Gen. Sir John Fletcher Owen recommended changes to the armament on Mount Serapong and other coastal batteries in Singapore. In 1908, following his report, plans were drawn up to replace the guns on some batteries in Singapore. The Mount Serapong Battery was to be almost completely rebuilt and rearmed with two Mark X 9.2-Inch BL Guns on Mark V 15° Barbette Mountings.
