In 1938, two young women, both born in 1915, met by chance in London.


Meta was a student and from Estonia, whilst Phyllis came from Croydon and worked as a secretary. Despite the vast difference in their backgrounds, they quickly became close friends. Handwritten letters fed and nurtured this significant friendship once Meta returned home, letters that remarkably survived the following decades, kept safe in a treasured family archive.


"I had a terrible feeling - a feeling that the world may be wrecked", Meta wrote to Phyllis; and, for Meta, the war did absolutely wreck her world.

It was a time of fear and flight, as both Russians and Germans fought to take over Estonia. She movingly described her traumatic experiences in her letters. Phyllis, as the wife of a conscientious objector, also experienced painful challenges during the war years, though she felt that they were insignificant by contrast with Meta''s suffering. She tried to continue to support her friend, through the pages they wrote to each other with love.


Despite their geographical distance and different experiences, Meta and Phyllis''s closeness endured across subsequent decades. And the connection was passed on to several generations of both their families, a line of friendship which continues to the present day.
