Album Info:
On May 6, 1942, the gun carriage were disabled by the crew before surrendering but the Japanese had American POWs place the battery back in service by replacing the mounted gun with the spare nearby and stripping parts from Battery Smith to rebuild the carriage. In early January 1945, a large bomb dropped by an American B-24 bomber exploded beside the gun putting it permanently out of action and a second bomb collapsed the underground passageway behind the gun.
