Default Anybody seen these before

Digging around in old stuff today. Found these. Picked them up down south in III Corp with the 1st Cav. Gotta ask my Vietnamese neighbor to translate. I only understood Chieu Hoi. I think the VC and NVA were using these for TP.

I hadn't seen these specific ones before, but have a couple of Safe Conducts about the same size as those few smaller ones.

Nice to see in any case!

Default Here's the translation of the leaflets

This translation is courtesy of my neighbor Ahn. He didn't get out of S. Vietnam until 1981.

1. ATTENTION TO THE NORTH VIETNAM C18 AIR DEFENSE SQUAD AND A57 "QUYET THANG" REGIMENT:

On November 29, 1970 you attacked a convoy 6 kilometers east of HAM TAN Province. In this engagement 20 of you died. Only 4 of us were injured and no damage to our allied forces.
The Republic of Vietnam Army is powerful and getting stronger day after day meanwhile you continue to suffer defeat and damage. WHAT WILL YOUR FUTURE BE?

2. ATTENTION TO THE NORTH VIETNAMESE SOLDIERS!

Please fill in the blank on the backside of this leaflet with your name, date of birth, rank, military ID number, unit you belong to and when you unfortunately died. The Republic of Vietnam Army will gladly bury you.

3. TO THE 33RD REGIMENT OF THE NORTH VIETNAM ARMY

Over a couple of years you have had quite a number of underground secret tunnels in Binh Tuy province, but as of today all of these secret tunnels have been discovered and destroyed by the Republic of Vietnam Army and it's allies forces. Therefore you have nowhere else to hide yourselves, your food, medicines , and army supplies.
With the serious shortage of food, medicines, and weapons we are sure that you will be devastatingly defeated and you will all die if you continue fighting.
It's not worth the wait! Please surrender or let yourself be arrested in order to become a prisoner of war of the Republic of Vietnam Army. You will be treated kindly and will have a happy life.

4. A SEARCH OPERATION IS REQUIRED

In order to effectively prevent infiltration and sabotage by the Viet Cong the Republic of Vietnam police force must thoroughly search buses, boats, travelers, and their luggage. They need to check resident's houses to stop the Viet Cong gangsters from blending in and causing sabotage and to identify people that have avoided their duties of serving in the army as well.
Please show your coperation and forgive us for any inconvenience you may encounter during the search operation. Please help our police force to achieve its duties of protecting our people and serving our country.

5. REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM POLICE FORCE'S DUTIES TO CONTROL NATIONS ASSETS IN ORDER TO SERVE THE PEOPLE

The Republic of Vietnam police force is checking and controlling the nation's assets in order to prevent these assets from falling into the hands of the enemy. The Viet Cong has a serious shortage of weapons and supplies thus decreasing their ability to fight. We can help build our peace by absolutely refusing to provide these supplies to our enemies.

6. SURRENDER WILL BRING YOU A FREE AND HAPPY LIFE
