Army Nurses
These army nurses called themselves the Battling Belles of Bataan, and later seen under a collective legacy of angels. The Angels of Bataan and Corregidornwere a group of 88 Army and 12 Navy nurses. They were stationed in the Philippines in December of 1941, but they hadn't received any official military or survival training. They only advantage to serving the Philippines was rank and money. While Filipino women did not participate notably during the war, American women did. The condition of women and children of Filipino descent was harsh, and it was often very difficult to survive, much less thrive, under such oppressive and unstable situations. However, for the first time for women in general, army nurses were given a rank of measure equal to that of a man's, which in this case second lieutenants.
