Certainly a nurse and perhaps a nursing auxiliary of WWI.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Hi

This is the back of the photo, if you zoom in there is an address but I can't make out the name of the Studio.
