Korean War: UN Propaganda Posters (part 5)

Target: NKA

Remarks: Second in series

Front
Text:
"Why be hungry?"

Back
Text:
"This Korean communist soldier, now safe behind the UN lines, enjoys hot rice with side dishes, each day. Along with thousands of his comrades he no longer suffers hunger during the long marches he once had to make.

"With his stomach filled with hot rice and vegetables he now enjoys life away from the war.

"But what about you, soldier?

"Why be hungry this fall when the UN offers you an abundance of good food?"

"SAVE YOUR LIFE--ESCAPE TO THE UN LINES!!"

*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.*
