9.2 Inch Guns
A 9.2 Inch Coastal Artillery Gun on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, England. This particular gun was originally emplaced in Gibraltar, but is similar to those found at Singapore at the start of World War Two. The gun at Mount Imbiah would have been a earlier model without the automated loading facilities.
Centre left in the right-hand photograph is the hydraulic ram which would be swung over in line with the breech. A shell would be placed in the ram and it would push the shell into the breech. Originally, men would have placed the shell in the breech and pushed it home using a large ramrod.
