Watch warriors

• Watch and Ward: a Boston censorship organization similar to Ireland’s vigilance committee

• watch and ward: (phrase) continuous vigilance and guard; service as a watchman or sentinel required from a feudal tenant
  • most obvious reference in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Yeoman of the Guard lyrics (the Tower of London motto): “The screw may twist and the rack may turn,/And men may bleed and men may burn,/O'er London town and its golden hoard/I keep my silent watch and ward”
