為世界和平團結一致 (Allies for World Peace), 1952 US poster: A photo-set poster of foreign soldiers training at Fort Benning, Georgia

為世界和平團結一致 (Allies for World Peace) (Chinese poster distributed in Asia)

A photo-set poster of foreign soldiers training at Fort Benning, Georgia: a machine-gun team, a rifle-instruction pair, a classroom of officers writing, infantry and a tank in a field exercise, a group portrait of officers from 23 nations, and a mortar crew. The text argues that free nations present a stronger united front if their armies train and arm alike. The tell is glittering-generalities, with 'world peace' attached to military training, and bandwagon, in the count of 23 nations training together.

United in one for world peace

If the armies of the free nations receive the same training and have the same equipment, their power to check an aggressor will surely be greater. The pictures show soldiers from all parts of the free world training at the U.S. infantry training camp.

Studying the use of all kinds of weapons and tactics can resist the violence of aggressor nations and win world peace.

Trainees observe a combat exercise.

Soldiers from twenty-three nations chat in front of the classroom at the training center. (printed twice, with two numeral forms and a correction mark)

Soldiers from different countries jointly calculate and aim at the target for an 81 mm mortar.

Chinese text read from a small printed layout and given as a best reading; one character in the mortar caption (the calibre) is hard to read and is given as printed in the nearest reading.
