Welcome to the September 2016 edition of the Bugle!

As always, you can find the articles promoted to A-class and featured status last month in our article news section. The book review section features two works focusing on aspects of World War II: Peacemaker67 assesses a book on Nazi terror tactics in the Balkans, while Nick-D looks at a book on intelligence and covert warfare.

TomStar81 contributes his regular timeline of events this month 100 years ago in World War I. Continuing in the same vein, Hawkeye7 takes over this month's op-ed to look at the Australian contribution to the Battle of the Somme.

In other important news, nominations and voting for the upcoming coordinator tranche will take place this September. We will be looking for ten project coordinators to serve from September 2016 to September 2017. All interested project members are encouraged to nominate for a position in the forthcoming coordinator tranche, and everyone is encouraged to vote in the election phase. You can find the nomination and voting page here.
