A section for articles by Harry Young has been created on the Marxist Internet Archive here:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/young-harry/index.htm
It contains 45 articles written by him between 1943 and 1989 for the Socialist Standard. Also a pamphlet against war that he wrote in 1922 for the Young Communist League of which he was then a leading member.
Email received from Andrew Whitehead, former BBC radio journalist:
I now have a page of my website devoted to Harry Young, including the audio of two long interviews I did with him and of two radio programmes in which I had no role but which featured Harry.This material posted is almost all about his CPGB days. There are a few mentions of the SPGB. I hope it may be of interest to you and your colleagues.Added to the Harry Young Marxist Internet Archive article on the Labour Party’s 1945 election manifesto “Let Us Face the Future”:

Andrew Whitehead made another blog entry (in 2021) which mentions Harry Young, prompted by Andrew picking up some old copies of the Standard. It’s worth a read: https://www.andrewwhitehead.net/blog/the-spgb-and-the-standard-of-socialism
And he also posted this not too long ago, after popping in to Head Office: https://www.andrewwhitehead.net/blog/the-clapham-partyAdded to the Harry Young Marxist Internet Archive article on the old “International Marxist Group” (IMG) manifesto for the February 1974 General Election:

Was just scanning through and saw this.
“The working class cannot be “better off”. They can either be slaves or free.”
I think the SPGB has been using radical republican tropes all the way through it’s existence, even if it may not have consciously labelled them as such.
