Service Battalions movements 1915

[dynan]

I'm trying to trace the East Kent Service Battalions from 1915, where did they sail from in England and where did they land in France, The Service Battalions joined the Ist Battalions which attacked the Quadrilateral at Ginchy, 400 men were killed because two tanks failed to turn up (who was in charge of the soliders)

Does anyone have more information or any pictures of the Ist Battalion or of the East Kent Service from 1915.

Thank you..
