Description | Commemorative plaque in Stockton Lions Park at Stockton in Newcastle, recalling the service of the coastal defence units during WW2. This plaque notes that Fort Wallace was rearmed with 9.2-inch guns in April 1939, and the original 6-inch coastal guns were transferred to Rabaul. The pair of stone lions in Stockton Lions Park were obtained from the Singleton Army Base; they were originally from an Army base established in Malaya after WW2, and were relocated to Singleton in the 1960s. |
