Josephine May Davis (née} Nesbit; December 23, 1894 – August 16, 1993) was an American nurse who served in the United States Army Nurse Corps.[2] She was second-in-command of the Angels of Bataan, army nurses stationed in the Philippine Islands during World War II,[2] who were the largest group of American women taken as prisoners of war.[3] Nesbit was noted for her "humane, dynamic leadership style."[2] She was credited with the survival of the nurses during the years they were held in captivity at Santo Tomas Internment Camp.[3][4]
