Welcome to the eighth edition of the Bugle for 2017!
The article news section includes a wide range of articles. All but one of the six featured articles promoted last month belong to long-running series whose subjects span three continents. Likewise, eight of the nine new A-class articles form part of a series, with the ninth being the nominator's second A-class article on related topics.
For the benefit of northern hemisphere editors enjoying summer holidays, the book reviews section features three in-depth reviews and a larger-than-typical number of external reviews. Hawkeye7 covers two new works on the 1917 Battle of Messines and recent leaders of the Australian Army, and Nick-D assesses a work on South African armoured fighting vehicles of the country's Border War. Nick has also contributed an op-ed giving his advice on taking photographs for military history articles, and TomStar81 continues his regular World War I coverage in our timeline section.
In other news, the MilHist FA, A-class, GA and peer reviews for April–June have been tallied. Nikkimaria and Peacemaker67 headed the list, with 31 and 26 reviews respectively. You can find the names of everyone who contributed here, and we thank them all for their efforts.
A quick note that voting for the XVII Coordinator Tranche will open in September. All project members are encouraged to participate either by voting for coordinators or by running for one of the open positions. The project has two academy essays that may be of use to you: becoming a coordinator and advice from former coordinators. Please feel free to ask questions of the current coordinators as well.
Finally, congratulations to Kges1901 on their first A-Class medal!
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
