Headline:
"These bombs of fire wait you when you next attack."

Right text: 
"Because your Communist leaders refuse to stop fighting, they force UN troops to use every powerful weapon against you when you next attack. Have you heard about your next attack?"

Left text:
"In your next attack you will meet our fire bombs, flame throwers and destructive artillery. Many of you will not survive the Communist sea offensive...
...but you can if you come over to the UN side and save your life."

*These posters come from my grandfather. He was assigned by the US Army to the United Nations as an information officer during the Korean War for which he was awarded the Bronze Star.*
