21.057-079 The War Diary of a Naval Airman 1915-1918, Capt Augustine Francis Marlowe; via Peter Cooksley.
Comprehensive diary of squadron life and events in the Aegean
1915-1918, with career summary and text notes (17p map)
So looking at the title and the events in the Agean this might be a Grahame White pusher biplane.

Cheers
