Cùng các đội-viên du-kích và chi-bộ xã Bình-Ba (To the Binh Ba Guerrillas and Party Chapter), leaflet
Two-sided text-only leaflet in a decorative border, addressed to the Binh Ba guerrillas and village party chapter. It says their refuge was discovered, they are few and short of food and villagers' help, and that hiding has separated them from their families; it tells them to demand that their named leaders, Huynh Van Phuong and Nguyen Tri Dung, let them go home. The tell: named local leaders are held responsible for the readers' hardship.

Text on the object
[Side 1] CÙNG CÁC ĐỘI-VIÊN DU-KÍCH VÀ CHI-BỘ XÃ BÌNH-BA. Mới đây, nơi trú-ẩn của các bạn đã bị khám phá và các bạn bị bắt buộc phải đi tìm một nơi khác. Quân-số của các bạn quá ít và các bạn phải gặp nhiều khó khăn trong việc tìm kiếm thực-phẩm, đồ tiếp-liệu và sự giúp đỡ của các người dân trong làng. [Side 2] Vì lẩn trốn trong rừng, nên các bạn phải xa gia-đình của mình và trở nên đơn-độc. Hãy đòi hỏi những người chỉ-huy của các bạn là Huỳnh-văn-Phụng và Nguyễn-tri-Dũng để cho các bạn trở về với gia-đình để các bạn có thể sống trong thanh-bình và hạnh-phúc.
[Side 1] TO THE GUERRILLA MEMBERS AND THE BINH-BA VILLAGE PARTY CHAPTER. Recently your hiding place was discovered and you were forced to look for another place. Your numbers are too few and you have much difficulty finding food, supplies and the help of the people of the village. [Side 2] Because you hide in the forest, you must be far from your families and become lonely. Demand that your commanders, Huynh-van-Phung and Nguyen-tri-Dung, let you return to your families so that you can live in peace and happiness.
Both sides read from the AWM scans. The AWM identification strips ('AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL' and the accession number) at the foot of each scan are part of the scan and are omitted. The hosted image places the two sides of the leaflet one above the other (or side by side), joined by FRAME from AWM's two scans of the same object. Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering, machine-assisted and not verified by a fluent reader; AWM's English translation was consulted.
