Trung-tướng Trần-Độ: sống tại miền Bắc, chết tại miền Nam (Lieutenant General Trần Độ, Alive in the North, Dead in the South), leaflet No. 2448
Vertical leaflet in Vietnamese: a portrait photograph of a man in a dark jacket labelled 'Lieutenant General Tran Do, alive in the North', above a photograph of a dead body labelled 'dead in the South'. The tell: the pairing implies that service in the South means death, and the Commons description states that the lower photograph is of a different person.
