Description
Personal memoir by one of the 104 American nurses who nursed the sick and wounded in Bataan and Corregidor in 1941 and 1942.
Also known as the Angels of Bataan and Corregidor, the nurses braved extreme conditions and bombings. The author arrived in the Philippines in late 1941, and was assigned to the hospital at Fort McKinley. When the war broke out, she immediately tended war casualties and was reassigned to Sternberg Hospital in central Manila, after which she was ordered to go to Bataan. When the fall of Bataan became imminent, she and other nurses were evacuated to Corregidor. She was evacuated from Corregidor by submarine just three days before the Japanese launched their invasion of the island.
Jopling continued her work as an army nurse throughout the duration of the war, and also writes about her postwar life, her marriage to an ex-POW, and other activities.
