| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - One of the first personal accounts of Americans in the defense of the Philippines. Redmond arrived in the Philippines in1940, an Army nurse, and was assigned to the Fort Stotsenburg hospital, and later Sternberg General Hospital in Manila. She was an eyewitness to the Japanese raids on Manila, before the hospital staff was moved to Bataan. She recounts the difficulties of tending to the sick and wounded in the jungle hospitals in Bataan, and was evacuated to Corregidor when Bataan fell. She was one of the few nurses who was able to get out on the last PBY flying boat to Mindanao, and thence to Australia. Redmond also writes of the Filipino nurses who were with her in the hospital. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
