<DIV>Dear Colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have located a copy of what may be a rare and important United
States Army publication related to early post-WWII Korea and I am
searching for information about the author and the work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The item is "Repatriation from 25 September 1945 to 31 December 1945.
It was prepared by then First Lieutenant William J. Gane (later promoted to
Captain). It was issued by the Headquarters, United States Army Military
Government in Korea, Foreign Affairs Section, Seoul, Korea, presumably in
1946. It has a front section of 97 pages and an 66 page appendix.
There are statistics, several fold-outs, and some photographic
illustrations. It is soft cover. The copy I have located has the
word "Restricted" written in ink at the top of the front cover. It bears
the number 0001. William J. Gane signed this copy of the front end
paper.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To date I have determined that there is at least one other copy, in an Army
military history library. I have not determined any definitive information
about Lt. Gane, but there seems to have been someone in the Army by that name
later involved in some aspects of the Vietnam War. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This work seems to address some forced repatriation as well as some
voluntary movements. It covers Korean nationals and some other
nationalities.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is anyone familiar with this item? I would be most appreciative of
any information regarding this work or its author.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Roger A. Lewis</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
