Crucifixes and shrines surrounded the clearing like the sentries of a beleaguering army.

She walked to Merrion Gates along the tram line about four miles, when she was stopped by sentries.

Of course when she goes to her fort her sentries sing out Turn out the guard!

We had to station sentries on the trenches to keep the men back; they were so eager to talk to the Germans.
