Indeed, Ellis. I'll bet it is from Joan Gilbert.
Thank you!!

Looks like a J to me. No-one would write a P like that at that time!

Everyone,
On a series of rather important memos that relate to the early Empire
Service, many are signed with what looks like PHG - and I haven't been
able to determine who that is (alas, I don't have a copy of the staff
listing for that year).
Is there an on-line access to the BBC's staff lists, or if you saw the
memo, do you think you might know? It's attached.
I'm guessing that it's actually JHG, for Joan Gilbert. If so, what was
her exact title in 1941, while working with Cecil Madden, and before her
television days?
I promise not to make this a habit, but I'm working on my book
manuscript and I'm having a rough time reading some of these had-written
notes from the WAC!
