The take

A replica of the 15-inch gun that was meant to defend the island in WWII, mounted in 2002 on the site of the original battery. It pairs well with Changi Chapel.

Good to know

Built in the late 1930s with three 15-inch guns, known as monster guns

Two of the guns could turn inland and fired at targets in Johor Bahru and the Causeway between 5 and 12 February 1942

The British destroyed the guns before the Fall of Singapore

Finding it: Cosford Road, off Upper Changi Road, in Changi. The National Heritage Board lists it among its historic site markers
