The ‘Sun’ at War (SaW)

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

The archives now contain all four volumes.
Note: Every name in The ‘Sun’ at War has been cross-checked and entered into the People page of this web site. However, perhaps owing to wartime pressure, the contents of these volumes are not very reliable. Many names are misspelled and, not infrequently, a surname alone appears in the magazine. Where we were 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.

89 issues were published by Sun Printers and Odhams-Sun between 1969 and October 1981.

With issue 89, Sun News came to an end. The parent corporation, the British Printing and Communications Corporation, took over at this point and began publishing a corporate magazine, BPCC Progress, in which the Sun was only one among many companies included in what was essentially a promotional magazine. The archives now contain three issues of Progress. It is not known how many were published.
