HOBJ2565 Accession Number: HOBJ2565

Description

For weeks Communist propaganda notices have been left where UN troops could find them. A soldier from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), holds a notice which reads 'SURRENDER MEANS SAFETY. CHARGE MEANS DEATH.' The notices are a variation of the surrender leaflets which the Chinese were throwing out not long ago, and which Australian troops also declined to take very seriously.
