Welcome to the sixth edition of the Bugle for 2017!

This month's regular article news section includes a dozen new Featured and A-Class articles. A common factor among the FAs is that all passed Good Article Nominations and A-Class Reviews before attaining their final status. While getting through these earlier reviews is no guarantee of an article gaining the bronze star, every set of eyes on a page can help!

In this month's op-ed, gives a detailed appreciation of command arrangements during the Battle of Messines in World War I, and also contributes this issue's book reviews. That section boasts an unusually large number of external reviews thanks to two recent group reviews of interesting military history books published in the New York Times.

TomStar81's regular timeline focuses as always on the major events that took place during the First World War 100 years ago this month. These include some of the events and battles that marked the beginning of the end of the war.

Don't forget that if you're interested in contributing to future editions of the Bugle, please contact either of the editors, or post it directly via the newsroom.
