Fred Moore for the National Resistance Committee, 1980; the same font was used for the masthead of Resistance News. We’ve been told many times that one of the Chinese characters is incorrect — possibly a diminutive (“Be a small soldier”?) rather than a negative (“Don’t be a soldier”). But nobody has yet provided us with a corrected version. We’re open to editing the master image, if you can explain what needs to be fixed and provide replacement character(s) in matching calligraphic style.
