Women Interned in World War Two Sumatra: Faith, Hope and Survival Coombes Barbara
Thousands of women and children were among those who struggled to leave Singapore just before capitulation on February 15, 1942; their hope was to reach safety. The "lucky" ones who survived the onslaught of the ships would become guests of the Japanese; many of these would not live to see the end of the war.Two very different women fleeing on those last ships and subsequently interned in camps throughout Sumatra were Margaret Dryburgh, a missionary and teacher, and Shelagh Brown, a secretary at the Singapore Naval Base. For many that hope was never realized; countless numbers drowned as ships were bombed and sunk on their way to "safety".
The "Captives Hymn" composed by Margaret Dryburgh was initially sung by herself along with Shelagh Brown and friend Dorothy MacLeod on 5 July Their paths crossed briefly prior to the catastrophic events of 1942 and met again in internment.
