# Các đồng-đội của các bạn ở Kampuchea đang bị khổ-sở (Your Comrades in Kampuchea Are Suffering), Chieu Hoi leaflet ATF-085-71

Front of a small text-only leaflet with a flower motif and star border. The headline says the reader's comrades in Kampuchea are suffering; the body says their bases were destroyed, the Kompong Som supply route cut, and that South Vietnamese operations in Laos put the last supply line for food and medicine in danger. The reverse urges the reader to rally before it is too late. The tell: an imminent loss (no supplies) is staged with one prescribed way out.

Kampuchea đang bị khổ-sở..

[flower motif]

Trong năm qua, những căn-cứ của các bạn ở Kampuchea đã bị thiêu-huỷ. Con đường tiếp-tế Kompong Som đã bị cắt đứt. Các cuộc hành-quân của Quân-Lực Việt-Nam Cộng-Hòa ở Lào có nghĩa là con đường tiếp-tế sau cùng của các bạn về thực-phẩm, thuốc men và những đồ tiếp-liệu từ bên ngoài đang bị lâm-nguy.

Your comrades in
Kampuchea are suffering..

[flower motif]

Over the past year your bases in Kampuchea were destroyed. The Kompong Som supply route was cut. The operations of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam in Laos mean that your last supply route for food, medicine and outside supplies is in danger.

Front side only; faint show-through of the reverse ('Hãy ra Chiêu-Hồi trước khi quá trễ', Chieu Hoi emblems) is not transcribed. The last mark of 'thiêu-huỷ' is faint. The handwritten 'F' is an archival or press mark. The AWM identification strip at the foot of the scan is omitted. Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering, machine-assisted and not verified by a fluent reader; it matches AWM's English summary.
