Jane Mansley served as a nurse in HMHS Leinster. He citation reads: "On the 20th of February 1944 whilst the Hospital Carrier was proceeding from Port d'Anzio to Naples with wounded aboard, during the period
19.20 to 21.00hrs we were dived on my enemy planes to mast height. Many patients on our upper decks became very excitable and nervous.
By the calm spirit and keen devotion to duty She was largely instrumental in restoring their confidence. Her example to all was the highest."
