**Wallace Battery** was an artillery battery located on the northern side of the entrance to the Hunter River at [Stockton, New South Wales](/source/Stockton,_New_South_Wales), Australia. The battery was part of Fortress Newcastle. Two [6 inch Mk VII guns](/source/BL_6_inch_Mk_VII_naval_gun) were installed at Fort Wallace in 1913. In 1940 the 6 inch guns were replaced by two [9.2-inch Mk X guns](/source/BL_9.2_inch_gun_Mk_IX%E2%80%93X) in emplacements.

The two 6 inch Mk. VII naval guns from Wallace Battery, were installed at [Praed Point Battery](/source/Praed_Point_Battery), [Rabaul](/source/Rabaul).[1]
