# Allies for World Peace (Khmer-language poster distributed in Cambodia)

A Khmer-language photo sheet under the headline 'Allies for World Peace' (NARA's English title). Six numbered photographs with Khmer captions show soldiers at a machine gun, rifle instruction, officers writing at classroom desks, infantry and a tank in a field, a mortar crew, and a group portrait of uniformed officers in front of a building. The tell is glittering-generalities: the peace-and-alliance headline is carried by photographs of military training.
