Gertrude Mary Goddard was a stenographer.

She appears to have been stationed at La Salle Relief Hospital during the Battle of Hong Kong.

I think G. M. Goddard's name/signature appears under "La Salle College" (La Salle Relief Hospital) and under the caricature of a nurse on the "Day Joyce Sheet" held by the Imperial War Museum. 

See: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30083388. An explanation of the "Day Joyce Sheet" is given at: https://gwulo.com/media/46458

In Tin Hats and Rice, Gertrude Goddard gets three mentions.

On 31st January 1945 she approached Barbara Anslow asking about shorthand (lessons? practice?).  Barbara replied they would do it.

Barbara then records doing shorthand with Mrs Goddard on two subsequent occasions on 1st and 2nd February, and also Ivy Batley.
