Hãy trở về với chánh-nghĩa (Return to the Just Cause), Xuyên Mộc 'follow the arrows' leaflet ATF-088-71
Two-sided leaflet in green and red. One side has the headline 'Return to the just cause', two Chieu Hoi emblems and the line that following the arrows leads to prosperity; the other is a sketch map with two red arrows running from the Nui May Tao hills toward Xuyen Moc, labelled with roads and hamlets. The tell: a practical route is paired with unspecified terms ('just cause', 'prosperity'), so the map does the work of a safe-conduct instruction.

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.
