| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Second World War. An English translation of the text is attached. The leaflet describes the successful landings of the Allied Forces on Wakde Island and Galebinc Bay on 27 and 28 May 1944 respectively. It reports that the Japanese forces in these areas surrendered to the Allied Forces in order to serve their country after the war. The message tells the Japanese troops to keep the leaflet for the time when they have to make choice between a useless war and a useful life in the future. 50,000 of them were printed. 30,000 of these leaflets were dispatched to Nadzab on 26 June 1944 and 20,000 of them were dispatched to Darwin on 1 July 1944. |
