Welcome to the April 2015 edition of the Bugle!

This month's edition features articles which mark the centenary of some of the more important events of World War I. TomStar81 has written an op-ed discussing the first major use of poison gas in the war on 22 April 1915. Nick-D has also contributed a book review discussing a work on the Landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915. Tom's regular timeline of the war summarises the other major events of April 1915, which include the commencement of the Armenian Genocide. The regular article news section has a diverse range of new featured and A-class content, including articles on three ships which saw combat during World War I to continue this issue's theme!

Lastly, have a new first-time winner in the monthly article writing contest, Tomandjerry211 -- congratulations!
