Soldier on watch (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sentry

'soldier on watch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(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 Guardian, The Times, The Sun, The Telegraph and the Irish Times (Simplex).
