Cool Hunting Aussies

Guys;
I'm about done rating the new boxers for my 1940-50 universe, and plan to do as mark42661 did and post them in small groups for everyone when I'm done.

Meantime, I'm starting to look for photos, and there are at least five or six Australians on the missing list so far:

Aussie flyweight champ Taffy Hancock
World bantam title claimant Mickey Miller
Eddie Miller
Merv "Darky" Blandon
Lightheavy Jack Johnson (also sometimes referred to as Australian Jack Johnson or Jack A. Johnson)

Also, can't quite decide what to do with Jack McNamee (need pic, also) as far as weight class. What do ya say, mates? Thanks in advance for any help.
