Welcome to the fourth Bugle for 2023!
After a few lean months, the article news section includes six newly promoted A-class articles. In line with the increased number of articles promoted to A-class, we also have our first crop of A-class medals since January! As a reminder, quite a few A-class nominations are open -- if you're interested in reviewing any, please see the list of nominations here. The section also includes a large crop of seven new featured articles and a featured list, but unusually there were no new military history featured pictures promoted in March.
The regular book reviews section includes a review contributed by Hawkeye7 of a recently-released Australian official history volume covering the 1999 East Timorese crisis, which was Australia's most complex military operation since the Second World War. Nick-D has also reviewed two works on the Australian War Memorial and the 1945 South China Sea raid.
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
