" Battery Geary - The setting up of Battery Geary started in 1907 and was completed in 1911 at a cost of $145,198. It was named in honor of Capt. Woodbridge Geary of the 13th U.S. Infantry who died in 1899 in the Philippines. With a maximum range of 14,610 yards, it was capable of firing in any direction. The eight 12-inch mortars of this battery were considered the most effective anti-personnel weapon in Corregidor. The battery had two mortar pits with 3 magazines and its standard crew consisted of 4 men per mortar. The vertical plunging trajectories of these mortars made them ideal for use against enemy entrenched on higher grounds in Bataan.
