    Description

    Hello, this is an original artifact from WWII, brought home with other items by our Uncle Tony who was in the South Pacific during WWII. It has been "down in the cedar chest" ever since.
    In part, it reads "ATTENTION AMERICAN SOLDIERS! I CEASE RESISTANCE. THIS LEFLET GUARANTEES HUMANE TREATMENT TO ANY JAPANESE DESIRING TO CEASE RESISTANCE. TAKE HIM IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR NEAREST COMMISSIONED OFFIER. BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF." The rest of that side and all of the other side is in a Japanese language.
    The flier number at the bottom left reads "17-J-1"
    7 2/3" wide, 10 2/3" tall.
    It has been folded vertically once, and horizontally three times. There are some tears and some discoloration, and the paper is very thin. But the red and blue colors are fantastically bright.
    Thanks for looking and good luck. I will pack carefully and ship promptly.  It will be in a plastic magazine protector, not folded, and shipped in cardboard larger than it is to protect the edges.
