100?

Trevor Cotterell has provided a long list of addition items from this collection - Nos. 1 to 17, 45, 50 and 51. The first two images were taken from a scrapbook and are missing the heading shown with the other two examples, three of the signed photos have been dedicated to 'Eagle Readers.'

UPDATE (03-04-2023 20:09):  Lots of names added to the checklist, thanks to an anonymous comment. I am hopeful of completing this checklist later this week.

UPDATE (05-04-2023 15:51):  The checklist is almost complete, just number 100 to find, which I presume was in the issue dated 2 April, 1954.
