This Memorial is so badly eroded that the names can no longer be read. I find it disappointing that the community has not bothered to restore it. They have provided a transcription.

formed by converting the (Home Service) Garrison battalions of line infantry regiments which were composed of soldiers either too old or medically unfit for active front-line service; the Home Service status indicated they were unable to

On the night of the 6 of May 1917 the 2nd Battalion, Gordon Highlanders marched along a railway embankment to their assembly positions for an attack the following morning on the village of Bullecourt. 
By 3.15am they were in position and at 3.45am they moved forward behind the protection of a rolling barrage provided by the artillery. Facing little opposition in the early stage of the attack they fought their way into Tower Trench, their first objective. Their bombing parties then began bombing their
way up the trench towards the north east to try to establish contact with the Australians who were on their flank and bombing down the trench from the opposite direction. Meanwhile, by 5.00am, the main body of the battalion had
taken the second German line and established machine gun positions there before they were shelled. The shell fire coupled with German rifle and machine gun fire from the village itself caused them to pull back to a new position on the Ecoust St Main to Hendecourt Road.
At 5.15 am the Gordons bombing party had linked up with the 9th Australian Battalion but were unable to move forward from the old German front line despite a number of attempts.
At the end of the fighting that day the Gordons had held on to the German first line and had established positions in the village itself although it hadn't fallen. They had captured 106 prisoners, three machine guns and counted 50 dead enemy soldiers around their positions.

On the afternoon of Thursday, 26 November 1914, Winston Churchill made the following statement to the House
of Commons: 
"I regret to say I have some bad news for the house. The Bulwark battleship, which was lying in Sheerness this morning, blew up at 7.35 o'clock. The Vice and Rear Admiral, who were present, have reported their conviction that it was an internal magazine explosion which rent the ship asunder. There was apparently no upheaval in the water, and the ship had entirely disappeared when the smoke had cleared away. An inquiry will be held tomorrow which may possibly throw more light on the occurrence. The loss of the ship does not sensibly affect the military position, but I regret to say the loss of life is very severe. Only 12 men are saved. All the officers and the rest of the crew, who, I suppose, amounted to between 700 and 800, have perished. I think the House would wish me to express on their behalf the deep sorrow with which the House heard the news, and their sympathy with those who have lost their relatives and friends." 
HMS Bulwark, a 15,000 ton battleship was moored in Kethole Reach on the River Medway, opposite the town of Sheerness, Isle of Sheppey. It was part of the 5th Battle Squadron. She had been moored for some days and many of her crew had been given leave the previous day. They had returned to at 07.00 hours that morning and the full complement was on board. The usual ship's routine was taking place when the disaster struck. A roaring and rumbling sound was heard and a huge sheet of flame and debris shot upwards. The ship lifted out of the water and fell back. There was a thick cloud of grey smoke and further explosions. When the smoke cleared, the Bulwark had sunk without trace. None of the Bulwark's
officers survived. Rescue work continued during the remainder of the week  and on Saturday 28 November, an inquest was opened. On Monday, 30 November, the funerals of 21 of the victims took place in the Naval Burial Ground at Woodlands Cemetery, Gillingham.
