Quốc Khánh 1965, 1965 US poster: A landscape sheet of six parade photographs, each labelled with a contributing force

Quốc Khánh 1965 (National Day 1965)

A landscape sheet of six parade photographs, each labelled with a contributing force: South Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines, Australia, the U.S. Army infantry and the U.S. Marine Corps. The text says the units marching on 1 November symbolise the solidarity of the 'free world' in the anti-communist cause and prove the strength and 'unyielding will' of the government and its allies. A roll-call of allied contingents on one sheet is a bandwagon appeal.
