A shirtless male soldier holding a leaflet.

Japanese propaganda leaflets dropped over the Australian lines before they went into action amused the men. The war correspondent Ian Morrison recalled that one leaflet addressed to the Australians ‘showed a blonde floozy tossing restlessly on her bed and crying out, "Oh, Johnny, come back to me. I am so lonely without you."’ Gunner Allan Lang of the 2/15th Field Regiment holds a different, but obviously equally amusing, leaflet.
