Gwen Flower?
Alison (who typed up the R E Jones diary) thinks this lady may be Gwen Flower:
The second & single G / Gwen might be Miss G Flower a Nursing Sister who’d be roughly the right age? There is a request written on back of pink cigarette packet paper that reads:

Would like Clinic Medicine Chest fixed to the wall.
Have spoken Mr.Jones who will do the job when convenient.
With thanks.
