I think 1000 S L by H of T was 1000 Ships Launched by Helen of Troy, but your version is quite amusing!

OK here's a few...

7 A of M = 7 Ages of Man
369 The GDW = The Goose Drank Wine
The 3 N of DD (HDL) = The 3 Nephews of Donald Duck (Huey, Dewie and Louis)
660 S in the H of C = 660 Seats in the House of Commons

I'm surprised the Jackeens haven't got the first two (-2 E in G and -1 B in G ), and 19 H on a GC (or are you just holding back?)

Let's try a bit of team work

12 M o a J/J o a J

I think is 12 men of a J/J on a Jury

Can someone finish it off

[Louise]

Could be:

12 Men on a Jury / Jurors on a Jury ???
