# Return to Your Home

A Chieu Hoi poster (printed number 3095) shows a smiling man in dark clothes raising both arms, one hand holding a slip marked 'Hoi Chanh' (rally), with similar slips falling behind him and a hamlet gate reading 'New Life Hamlet' at lower right. The title is 'The Road Back to the Homeland'. The poster offers a single image of welcome and village life and no counter-argument, the tell of a glittering-generalities appeal.
