Not sure which OED you were looking in, John, but mine had it in (see an earlier posting copied below!)
>>>>>Have just checked my Concise Oxford English Dict:
Sentry-go (complete with hyphen) is the only variant listed, it is a noun, is British in origin and is described thus:
"the duty of pacing up and down as a sentry".
>>>>>Seems pretty clear.
