Welcome to the July 2015 edition of the Bugle!
A healthy number of FA-Class articles within the scope of the project are listed in our regular article news section, but for the first time that either of the editors can remember, this month's edition doesn't include any new A-Class articles as none were promoted in June. While this partially reflects the usual slowdown in contributions during the northern hemisphere summer, it's also a reminder of the importance of reviewing nominations.
On that note, the MilHist FA, A-Class, GA and Peer Reviews for April–June 2015 have been tallied. Dank, Nikkimaria and Sturmvogel 66 headed the list -- you can find everyone's name who contributed reviews here, and we thank all of them for their efforts. Thanks also to Nikki for her efforts tallying.
A reminder too that there's plenty of articles that still need assessment -- every bit helps!
In our other departments, Nick-D discusses in a review essay how he went about sourcing information for his series of three FA-class articles on the Royal Navy's abortive attacks against the German battleship Tirpitz in 1944, while TomStar81 continues his coverage of the centenary of World War I with two features: an op-ed looking at the role of nurses in the conflict, and his regular timeline of wartime events that took place that month.
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.
Your editors, Ian Rose ( talk) and Nick-D ( talk)
