Here is the second part to the previous post! Happy viewing~! Here's a pic of a structure which seems to look like a Guard's Quater use by those on duty.

Heres a pic from the side of the barracks. Notice that there is a sign put up by the NUS excavators.

You can see that the toliets back then were quite modern, they are equipped with modern flushing system instead of the bucket system which is in use that time.

Here's a pic of the cleared site of Fort Serapong. Notice the metals stumps of nails at the gun emplacement. They used to hold one of the most powerful guns in the world!

Here's a pic of the flooded ecavation site done by the NUS team. They did not have a drainage system in place when excavation was in process, thereby making it flood. Much flooding like this can be seen around the excavated fort and some of them have even bred mosquitos!

Here's my friend Geng Li from the 30SCE! hah! He's carrying with him the ropes that Mr Tan had brought from school for us to descend into the tunnel later. Notice that the corner painting of the floor is well preserved by the soil. Thanks Mother Nature!

In this pic is Sherwin, currently in Navy's SISPEC, scratching his leg from all the mosquito bites. you can see the battery commmand post from the pic. Notice that the structure is built with a flat roof and rather low and flat towards the ground. This is because they would want to get minimal sight from enemy warships. They also have an all round view from the battery command post so as make the correct and accurate decision for the guns to fire upon.

I'm in this pic! Yeah! I am wearing my SAF combat boots, BK1 Brute, Camera and 2C Maglite around my waist belt. Behind me is a closer pic of the battery command post.

Here's another view of the Command Post. Note that the Windows go slightly more then 180 degrees in area of sight. In the pic, Yong Xian can be seen taking pics of another part of the fort.

Here's a pic from inside the Command Post. Note the break off at the left bottom corner of the pic, it is going to the Range finder which is situated at the bottom part of the Command Post.

Here's a pic of the steps leading to the Range finder.
Here's the stairs that leads all the way down to the Casemates where the Shells are loaded onto the guns! Notice that the stairs from the Command post is cleared which is previousl totally covered by the undergrowth.

The entrance to the 4 stories high tunnel! The red tapes are most probably put up by the NUS excavation team.

Geng Li has descended into the Tunnel. All safety checks are inplace and safety is paramount. The condition of the ladder is uncertain there fore we are using nylon rope to descend down into the tunnel. Before this, a lamp was lowered down to check how deep the tunnle is and also to check the condition of the ladder. According to Geng li, the ladder feels rather solid.

Notice that while Geng Li is in the tunnel exploring, the rest of the members are outside supporting by talking to him constantly and also belaying the safety rope.

After a long day, we got out and finally saw daylight again.

We'll be going again, soon, but this time, with the secondary school kids! YEah! Make them excited!
