The article uses vocative and communicative theories to point out the vocative of Uncle Ho's soldiers in the anti-French period. The basis for us to determine the forms of address of the soldiers is: Military Command, the forms of address of the Vietnamese and some modern literary works. The results show that in communication, Uncle Ho's soldiers used 11/13 of address forms and corresponding to different communication situations, vocative of Uncle Ho's soldiers changed flexibly. However, the forms of address: by personal pronouns and by titles used in the vocative pair of: “Tôi” – “đồng chí” ("I" - "Comrade") appears with very high frequency. Through analyzing the vocative forms and the vocative pairs, we initially find: The communication of Uncle Ho's soldiers is both legal and emotional, both modern and traditional, both formal and informal.
