I posed the ground anchor question...
because there is a large quantity in our local scrapyard, and I want to make sure I got a couple of sets before it goes to the scrapper. Just curious about their function and application, and of course you guys answered the question again, that is the beauty of this forum. Cheers Rob Fast

17 pdr. update...
Although I couldn't take advantage of Rob Nixon's sale on those beautiful limbers due to lack of funds, I did manage to satisfy myself with a couple of pieces of field kit. See pics of anchor pegs/seat bracket for duplication/ and the box/tools for the No. 9 dial sight. Quite complete but missing tools No.8/10/11/12 to complete the set. Cheers for now Rob Fast

More good stuff Rob, I see you found the short chain from the Pull back apparatus completing the set .
I've got a dial sight tool kit in the shed so I will have a look tomorrow and compare the two. Rob..................rnixartillery.

The short chain pictured is actually the chain from a universal carrier (and possibly the CMP truck) tow cable. They may well be the same, or just about the same, as used on the pullbacks.

It is a standard produced chain with many functions and still used in the British army today for recovery purposes.
