The ‘Sun’ at War (SaW)

Four bound volumes were published in October 1943, April 1944, December 1944, and October 1945.

We have all four volumes.
Note: Every name in The ‘Sun’ at War has been cross-checked and entered into our People page. However, the contents of these volumes, perhaps due to wartime pressure, are not very reliable. Many names are misspelled and, not infrequently, a surname alone appears in the magazine. Where we are uncertain, we have indicated alternative spellings, alternative initials, even alternative departments, in parentheses with a question mark.

Impressions (Hazell-Sun House Magazine) (Impr)

69 issues were published by Hazell-Sun between 1949 and 1966.

We now have all issues (or copies thereof). Sincere thanks to Rosemary Hanscombe for the donation of a complete set.
