According to the experts at the Steelnavy.com message forum, this is a Cressy-class cruiser, either HMS Bacchante or more likely HMS Euryalus:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Euryalus_(1901)
Wikipedia:
Euryalus assisted the landings at Cape Helles. The 1st Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers were embarked in Euryalus and the battleship HMS Implacable which took up positions off the beach. The troops transferred to 32 cutters at around 4 am. Euryalus closed in on the beach at around 5 am whilst Implacable moved off to land troops and provide covering fire at X beach, and opened fire on the defences.
