Text:
"Will help come?"

Back
Text (right to left):
"If you were wounded in battle or grow seriously ill this winter, what will happen to you?

"You know you have little chance of reaching a hospital, because when your leaders think that you are no longer any use to them, they leave you to care for yourselves, or die alone. 

"The United Nations give Korean prisoners of war the same good medical treatment they give their own troops. 

"Think about this! It is your duty to your family and Korea to stay alive and healthy. Don't wait until you are wounded.

"Escape now---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.*
