The McDonalds



The cutline reads: From left, Cadet Nurse Jimmie Lou McDonald, Frances McDonald and Lt. Inez McDonald at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis in 1945. Lee County native Lt. McDonald was a prisoner of war interred in Santo Tomas from July 1942 until February 11, 1945. She was part of the 64 nurses known as the "Angels of Bataan." The nurses were among the first women taken as prisoners in a war.
