The Activities of Hoi Chanh in Phuoc Long Province, 1965 US poster: A landscape sheet of five photographs shows ralliers

The Activities of Hoi Chanh in Phuoc Long Province

A landscape sheet of five photographs shows ralliers in Phuoc Long province at a provincial Chieu Hoi centre: two uniformed officers receiving families, a lecture to a seated audience, a rallier who brought a weapon, and ralliers with belongings after being cleared. Captions say ralliers are taught the government's policy and helped in every way. The closing line, 'Chieu Hoi is an expression of love of nation and the just cause', frames the programme as patriotism; the sheet shows only reception and welfare.
