Caption: "Please! Please come back. Don't die, it's terrible to be dead. We need each other. It would be awful if you're crippled -- I wouldn't know what to do if you were. Here's all you do! 1. Come towards our lines waving a white flag! 2. Strap your gun over your left shoulder, muzzle down and pointed behind you. 3. Show this ticket to the sentry. 4. Any number of you may surrender with this one ticket. Japanese Army Headquarters. [Japanese text]."
