Welcome to the tenth Bugle edition of 2016, and what looks to be our biggest issue in almost two years!
This month we bring you an interview with the three first-time members of the project coordinator tranche elected in September, and a review essay in which Nick-D discusses recent re-appraisals of the successes and failures of the British and Australian Armies in World War II.
This issue also includes all our usual features: a round-up of the content promoted to A-Class and Featured status last month, two book reviews by Hawkeye7 focusing on the US military, and an op-ed by TomStar81 on the end of the Battle of the Somme. Tom also contributes his regular timeline of the events of World War I that took place 100 years ago this month.
On the subject of articles promoted last month, the Bugle would like to congratulate Kges1901 on his first featured article and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga for his first featured list!
In other news, the MilHist FA, A-Class, GA and Peer Reviews for July–September have been tallied. Nikkimaria headed the list with 29 reviews, followed by Dank with 27. You can find the names of everyone who contributed here, and we thank them all for their efforts.
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
