[KS] Look for info on U.S. military government in Korea publication and it author

[RogerALewis at aol.com]

Dear Colleagues,
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.  
 
This work seems to address some forced repatriation as well as some  
voluntary movements.  It covers Korean nationals and some other  nationalities.
 
Is anyone familiar with this item?  I would be most appreciative of  any 
information regarding this work or its author.
 
Sincerely,
 
Roger A. Lewis
