I decided to review the newsletter to see which were the most popular postings during the period September 2011 to April 2012, and as a byproduct have drawn up a list ranking the top fifty posts. One of the most interesting features of the list is that postings relating to the First World War attract a significant number of views, as did the posts on the medieval field systems.
