Welcome to the sixth Bugle for 2023!
Seven articles, one list and three pictures achieved featured status during May. The regular article news section covers them, as well as three new A-class articles.
For those in the northern hemisphere enjoying summer holidays while those in the south keep warm at home, we have a good-sized book review section featuring two entries from Hawkeye7, a history of the Australian Signals Directorate and a new Osprey World War II campaign book, plus Nick-D's review of the history of the 1945 Borneo campaign.
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
