Content: This item is a Japanese-language propaganda material produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Second World War. An English translation of the text is attached. In an attempt to stir up patriotic feelings among the Korean men accompanying the Japanese forces, the message on the leaflet mentions the 150 students who cut their little fingers in protest against the annexation of Korea and the pro-independence organisation which relocated its headquarters to Australia after the occupation of Shanghai by the Japanese. It urges Korean men to turn to the Allies if they love their homeland. 2,000 of them were printed.
