# Chieu Hoi at Tay Ninh

A photo-montage Chieu Hoi poster (code SP-1376) reports that Tay Ninh has 2,271 ralliers drawn from regular troops, guerrillas, sappers, party members and others, says they brought back weapons, ammunition and documents, and that many rejoined their families. Three photographs show a rallier greeted by his wife and child, families visiting a Chieu Hoi centre, and a rallier speaking to villagers about 'the miserable life' in the Viet Cong ranks. A running total plus ordinary family scenes carry the appeal.
