Korean War Safe Conduct Pass. Paper pass, 3¾ x 5¼ in., issued by "The Chinese People's Volunteer Forces" and probably dropped on U.N. forces in Korea, the pass guarantees that if the soldier puts down his weapon and says "Tow Shong" (Chinese for "surrender"), he "will be escorted to the rear--to safety…get medical treatment…and…get home in one piece." Text on the back says, "No one believes this bunk about a 'United Nations' war. How many British, French and other troops are here? Just enough to make propaganda about. It's an American show and you are the sacrifice…." Light soiling and a little ragged around the edges.
Estimated Value $50 - 75.
