Well, the first image posted makes the entire contents clear; roughly translated, it warns soldiers to make sure they "cap it before they tap it", as venereal disease is a scourge somewhat akin to Leprosy or AIDS. At least that's the way it's worded.
You want an actual word for word? Or is that general overview enough?

... Thanks! No the general overview is good enough. I wasa thinking it was going to be about thier paybook or something... Is it attributable to a specific I.D. or is it a generic Phamphlet? Thanks again! Mike
