Summary
The black and red leaflet 7079 is targeted at the Chinese Army and the theme is to accentuate the enemy's fear of U.N. artillery. The front depicts a single Chinese soldier in the center of a giant target. The leaflet was disseminated on Aug. 24, 1951. The text is:
DEATH IS COMING!
The back depicts a large hole in the ground caused by an artillery explosion:
Death that comes at you continually. It comes with the sun. It comes with the rain. It seeks you out in the night.
THE SWIFT AND DEADLY ARTILLERY SHELL.
It will soon find you with its purr of death and will kill you as it has killed so many of your comrades. How many artillery shells did you hear yesterday? Will you live to hear them again tomorrow? Death is coming, soldier.
Death is coming - UNLESS YOU COME OVER TO THE UN FORCES WHO ASSURE YOU OF GOOD TREATMENT, GOOD FOOD AND SWIFT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
