# Returnees Reunited with Family (Tay Ninh Chieu Hoi Sheet)

A landscape sheet (code SP-1443) shows passport-style photographs of 39 men, each captioned with a name, nickname, rank or post and unit, around a central panel reading 'Those who have returned to be reunited with their families'. The panel asks readers with relatives or friends still in the Viet Cong ranks to call on them to return to the 'national cause'. A wall of named faces serves as both testimonial and a count of those who have rallied.
