ATF-072-71: Hoi Chanh Nguyen Van Duong
Description
English Translation:
Front: (Photograph of Nguyen Van Duong. Chui Hoi Symbols)
Back: I am Nguyen Van Duong, aka Ba Nam (3Nam), Adjutant of C4, D445. I brought one AK 47 and three magazines when I rallied to the Australian forces. I was warmly welcomed, which was contrary to the teachings of our Hai Kanh in the Battalion Command Group.
I was with the VC for eight years. I suffered hardship, hunger and thirst, but without the victory the VC had propagandised about. I myself, as well as my family, received nothing. At the present time I realise that our ranks are disintegrating. The above are the reasons for which I rallied.
I sincerely appeal to all those remaining in the VC ranks to rally early to the GVN to avoid a useless death and to be reunited with their families.
8 January 1971.
Yours sincerely, 3 Nam
