Thought I might post up some of the leaflets Japan dropped on Australians in New Guinea to try and mess with their heads and get them to surrender.
On the back of it :
HERE’S ALL YOU DO !
1. Come towards our lines waving a white flag !
2. Strap you gun over your left shoulder, muzzle down and pointed behind you.
3. Show this ticket to the sentry.
4. Any number of you may surrender with this one ticket.

”Roosevelt, Thou shalt go, Americans, and eat the Australians out of their homes, if necessary…..The Americans will fight to the last Australian.”
”KILLED IN ACTION !”
Died that the jungles of New Guinea might again rest in peace.
The leaflet shows a stylised digger chained to a map of New Guinea.
”You Above All Men”
Do you have to bear the brunt of this war alone and for so long? You never seem to think of me. I”m lonesome without you. Tom has come home months ago and, Thomas still admires me as you know, sometimes, I really do lose confidence in myself………
”Siren – Beware, young man! The lady will get you if yo don”t watch out. You”ll never see those green hills at home again once her clutches tighten on you……. and she”s got a fairly good grip right now……..There is only one way out……”
