There is a photo of a ground anchor (holdfast) on Phillip's No.9 restoration thread, just posted. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=22324
The spikes were pointed hex or octagonal bar with a loop near the top to aid removal. I've seen various designs, but all have some method of removal welded near the top. There are some in the background of Phillip's image, rusted & standing up. Mike

I copied that photo as a reference and have a Resin kit of REME stuff that includes the spikes and holdfasts in it. With the diagram above I can add them to my scratch built model for extra detail.
see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=22459 for the model itself along with it's 18Lb gun and limber
