Soldier on watch (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sentry

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">soldier on watch</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sentry that I've seen before include "One posted on guard" , "One keeps guard" , "Person posted to keep watch for some anticipated event" , "Lookout person" , "Military guard" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Sun, The Times, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
