While the capture of the nurses was widely publicized in the U.S., little specific information was known of their fate until they were liberated.

Lt.
Juanita Redmond, one of the few nurses to escape, published a memoir of her experiences on Bataan in 1943 that concluded with a dramatic reminder that her colleagues were still prisoners.
 The nurses' story was dramatized in several wartime movies, including:
Cry 'Havoc' (MGM 1943)
So Proudly We Hail! (
Paramount 1943) (based on the Redmond book)
They Were Expendable (MGM 1945)
When So Proudly We Hail was shown in the theaters, a recruitment booth staffed with Red Cross volunteers was set up in the lobby.
