Welcome to the fifth Bugle edition of 2016!

As far as we're aware, this is the first ever bi-monthly edition of the Bugle. The reason for this is rather prosaic though: we wanted to reset the monthly schedule so that future editions are published early in the month. As a result, we'll return to monthly editions from July onwards.

A benefit of this double edition is that the regular article news section is huge, with nine new featured articles, five new featured pictures, and 13 new A-class articles! While there's a stronger-than-usual emphasis on World War II among these articles, their topics also include a medieval ruler of Egypt, New Zealand's first Victoria Cross recipient, and an Australian World War I soldier who became famous for his success in looting. The new featured pictures are also highly diverse, and include a penguin and the inventor of the organisation chart.

TomStar81's regular World War I timeline is also a double edition, and provides a summary of the dramatic events of May and June 1916. Tom has also brought us an op-ed on one of the key events of this period, the Battle of Jutland which was fought from 31 May to 1 June.

The book review section features a review by Hawkeye7 of the second volume of the official history of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, as well as a round-up of some recent reviews of books which were published on other websites.

Finally, readers might also be interested in Parsecboy's recent article on the Wikimedia blog in which he shares why he writes about warships.

We hope that you enjoy this double-edition, before we return to usual programming next month.

Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
