  • [1945]

One leaflet with text in English on one side and Dutch on the other. Above both headings is Japanese script. The translated script says 'To Allied Army prisoners' . After the Japanese Government surrendered in 1945, the leaflets were air dropped by the United States for Prisoners of War in Japan, Singapore, Indonesia and elsewhere. Until the prisoners could be evacuated by Allied Nation forces, supplies of food, clothing and medicines were air-dropped. The leaflets, dropped prior to the first of the supplies, included details of bundle markings, contents and allowances per man, instructions for feeding 100 men, and a cautionary note to not overeat or overmedicate.
