Chúng Tôi Đã Ra Chiêu-Hồi (We Have Rallied), Chieu Hoi leaflet ATF-078-71
Two-sided leaflet. One side is a headline naming three returnees over three photographs of men standing outdoors; the other is a short text in their plural voice saying they rallied on 27 January 1971 to Australian soldiers, were well treated, and that the reader has heard their appeals from aircraft. The tell: named, pictured returnees vouch for the offer and the leaflet points to a broadcast the reader has already heard.

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.
