# Tôi tự hỏi chồng tôi ở đâu và đang làm gì? (I Wonder Where My Husband Is), Chieu Hoi leaflet ATF-052-70

Two-sided cartoon leaflet on yellow paper. One side shows a woman holding a child, a thought bubble of a seated soldier, and the line 'I wonder where my husband is and what he is doing?'. The other side shows the soldier holding her photograph and wondering what his family is doing. The tell: separation from family is staged as the emotional cost of staying in the field, with no argument beyond the pairing of the two scenes.

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.
