Was there a revised English version of General Order 1 re: the division of Korea?
score:2
Accepted answer
The website of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the text of General Order No. 1, as issued on 2 September 1945, in both English and Japanese. The English text states:
(b) The senior Japanese Commanders and all ground, sea, air and auxiliary forces within Manchuria, Korea North of 38 degrees North latitude, Karafuto, and the Kurile Islands, shall surrender to the Commander-in-Chief of Soviet Forces in the Far East.
This has the updated text, mentioning the Kurile Islands, and states that the 38th parallel is the dividing line in Korea.
A scanned version of the original can be found on the National Diet Library of Japan Digital Collections website in the volume SCAP Directives to the Imperial Japanese Government:
As you can see, the text is the same as that on the website of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs quoted above.
It appears that the text on Wikisource may come from the draft Revision of General Order No. 1, dated 11 August 1945, which can be read on the website of the Office of the Historian of the US Department of State.
