Argosy (UK) [Vol. VI No. 4, April 1945] (Amalgamated Press, 1/3d, 112pp, 4.7″ x 7.6″)
With effect from this issue the title throughout is just “Argosy”, and the caption at the bottom of the Table of Contents has been dropped. This issue contains an announcement that the “short stories submitted for the 1944 [Argosy Prize] competition have been of a very disappointing quality compared with those of the previous year” - so no prize was awarded and the money went to the Royal Literary Fund.
