Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/February 2021/Project news

Welcome to the second Bugle for 2021!

This month's edition includes three book reviews. Hugo999 discusses a recent work which, by correcting a major misunderstanding of the size of the forces involved, has led to a reassessment of New Zealand's role in the Gallipoli campaign. Hog Farm looks at an older book on the Battle of Perryville. Last but not least, Hawkeye7 has assessed a history of the US Army's 1st Infantry Division in the Gulf War.

While the article news section includes only three new A-class articles, it highlights an impressive crop of nine articles and an iconic photo which were promoted to featured status in January -- well done to all concerned.
