Margaret Dryburgh (1890–1945) was born in Sunderland England and trained as a teacher. She later became a missionary in Singapore where she was captured in the Second World War. The plight of Dryburgh and her fellow inmates such as Betty Jeffrey in a Japanese prisoner of war camp inspired the 1996 film Paradise Road. Today her memory lives on through the song she penned in camp The Captives Hymn.
