The leaflet begins by acknowledging the "great responsibility" the Army holds in caring for the young men who join its ranks. It goes on to assure parents and families that their sons are in good hands, with a focus on their physical and emotional wellbeing. The Army pledges to provide them with a "sound foundation for their future," offering various opportunities for personal development and training. The text also emphasizes the importance of communication between the soldiers and their families, encouraging letters and visits to maintain strong bonds. It also highlights the role of the Army Welfare Service, which offers assistance and support to both the soldiers and their families during their time apart. The leaflet concludes by expressing gratitude for the trust families place in the Army and the sacrifices they make during their loved ones' National Service. It serves as a testament to the enduring bond between the military and the families who support their loved ones through their service. This poignant leaflet offers a glimpse into the emotions and experiences shared by families during the National Service era, providing a valuable historical perspective on the time when young men were called upon to serve their country.
