In the Report of the Singapore Commission (General Sir Webb Gillman) of 1927, it was recommended that Pulau Tekong Besar should be armed with two 6-Inch Guns on Pyramid Hill. In 1931 it was stated that a three gun 9.2-Inch Battery on Cemetery Hill was desirable for the island as well as the 6-Inch Battery. Despite this, only a two gun battery was considered. This was later changed back to a three gun battery which was built and named Tekong Besar Battery. The Battery had the code name ‘TEAK’, and came under the Changi Fire Command.
