I rallied to the government of the Republic of Vietnam on 26 August 1970 at Hoa Long. I was received warmly by the authorities and treated kindly. Now I call on my brothers in the same unit to rally so as not to be sacrificed in vain for the vague doctrine of the Communists. 27 August 1970 [signature] [Side 2] HOI CHANH MEMBER (RETURNEE) TRAN VAN VINH [photograph of a man writing at a table] ATF-031-70. ``` 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.
