# Những gì sẽ xảy đến cho các bạn nếu các bạn bị thương nặng (What Will Happen to You If You Are Seriously Wounded), leaflet ATF-021-70

Two-sided leaflet. One side is a text block stating that allied forces found this fighter on 10 August 1970, abandoned by comrades with a serious foot wound, and that he is now safe, then asking what will happen to the reader if seriously wounded far from family. The other side is a photograph of a Western medic kneeling to dress an injured Vietnamese man's foot. The tell: a documented case of care is paired with a question about the reader's own risk of abandonment.

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.
