The Greyfriars Herald
The Greyfriars Herald (Series 1) ran for only 18 issues from 20th November 1915 until 18th March 1916 until it became yet another victim of the paper shortage.
There wasn't a lot of discussion of the 'Ha'penny Herald' in the Collector's Digest but Tom Hopperton wrote an article for the first issue of his 'The old Boys' Book Collector'. You can read the article here.
You can read a few issues of series 1 by clicking the links from the table below.

The Greyfriars Herald was relaunched on 1st Nov 1919 and featured Jack Drake and his friends from the Benbow, a school on an old ship berthed on the Thames. In issue 62 Jack left the Benbow and went to Greyfriars.
During this period Hamilton was writing genuine Greyfriars for the Herald yet the subs were writing Greyfriars tales for the Magnet!
You can read or download some of the issues by clicking on the links below. If there is no hyperlink on the title then that particular issue is not yet available.
The first 62 issues are complete scans, remaining issues contain only the Jack Drake stories.
Gary has kindly supplied the list below of the second series, If anyone can provide and information on issue 126 then please contact me.
