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 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. has also reviewed two works on the Australian War Memorial and the 1945 South China Sea raid.
