ATF-115-71: Convalescent group
Description
English Translation:
Front: Photograph of Truong Dinh Hanh and Australian medical assistant.
Back: Comrades of Convalescence Group, SR4, I am Truong Dinh Hanh, soldier of Convalescence Group. Three days ago, I went out with this group and was ambushed by Allied troops. I was wounded and lay in the jungle for three days and three nights without medicines or food. The unit did not come to save me either. The Australians found me and took me to hospital. At present, I have been treated at the Australian hospital in Vung Tau. I have been treated very well. I call upon you, comrades who are still in the VC ranks, even if you were wounded or not, especially sister Hoa, try and contact the Australian troops in this area and ask for Chieu Hoi. I believe you will be warmly welcomed. I hope to see you again.
(Signed) Truong Dinh Hanh
