The Dog Watch Index of Nos. 1 to 57

Edited by Harrow Morgan

 

Editor's Notes:

q       The first three editions of the magazine were not numbered, but had the year of publication on the cover. For sequencing in this index I have numbered them in squared brackets.

q       Commencing with the fourth edition the edition number appears on the cover and not the year. For clarity I have put the year of publication in squared brackets

q       The title of The Annual Dog Watch was chosen to differentiate it from the quarterly newsletters entitled The Dog Watch published from Jan. 1939 through to August 1946. It retained this title ending with No. 27 when it was changed to The Dog Watch. Curiously edition No.46 is titled Dog Watch. The editorial for No. 27 and the article 'What's in a name?' in No. 28 make interesting reading on this subject.

q       The text for this index is taken from the Table of Contents of each edition. It appears that each Table of Contents has been produced without reference to previous editions. Several authors are listed in different forms—sometimes with initials for first names, at other times first names in full. Sometimes a known second initial has not been included. I have endeavoured to standardise to the most common form. Where the author's initials only are given and I am certain of the identity of the author I have substituted the common form name.

q       In several situations neither source nor author have been listed. I have endeavoured to identify the article's author or source and have included it in squared brackets.

q       The indexes of both Nos. 31 and 33 did not include the list of authors or sources. I have included them in squared brackets.

q       In No. 40 there is a valuable story on The Dog Watch that is a tribute to Miss S.A.E. Ström. The author is unnamed, but well may have been Joyce Lambert

q       The year of publication appears on the title page of each edition and on the spine commencing with edition No.28. Curiously there was no publication in the year 1947.

q       In order to reduce clutter in the index I have deleted the words 'the late' before the author's name together with the phrase 'from the papers of'.

q       From time to time the Hon. Editor has repeated articles from earlier editions of The Dog Watch—generally from editions no longer available.
