December <BR>>1945. It was prepared by then First Lieutenant William
J. Gane <BR>>(later promoted to Captain).<BR><BR><BR>The mentioned report
(OCLC Number: 44968216) has been widely quoted <BR>in the literature about
repatriation from Japan to Korea and about <BR>Korean residents status in
Japan after the liberation of Korea. <BR>Another copy can be found at
Harvard-Yenching Library: (W) D809.K6 A5 <BR>1946 -- and another two copies at
the Library of Congress: D809.K6 A5 <BR>1946 and D809.K6 A5 1946
FT MEADE . There are all together at least <BR>seven libraries that have
copies.<BR><BR>William J. Gane later included some of his military
intelligence <BR>insights in his PhD thesis:<BR><BR> William J.
Gane:<BR> "Foreign Affairs of South Korea, August 1945 to August
1950"<BR> Ph.D. dissertation, Northwestern University,
1951<BR><BR>ProQuest dissertation number: AAT
0276442<BR>http://disexpress.umi.com/dxweb#search<BR><BR>If you check for his
dissertation in the library catalogue of William <BR>J[oseph] Gane's alma
mater (fastest done using WorldCat) you will <BR>find that he was born in
1920. If interested in his vita, the <BR>dissertation does include one.<BR>His
grave is at the Arlington Military Cemetery -- exactly here:
<BR>http://www.arlingtoncemetery.us/gmap.asp?Plot_Id=39554&Dead_Id=133091<BR>It
seems he was killed on his 39th birthday, August 10, 1959 -- in <BR>one the
first battles in Vietnam I would
guess.<BR><BR><BR>Best,<BR>Frank<BR><BR><BR>--
