Hi Jodie,
We have recorded Mummery as being in the 11th Light Trench Mortar Battery as the was the unit he was recorded with in the enquiry packet of the soldier to whom he was an eyewitness. See: https://sarcib.ww1.collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/packet-content/52208#https...

The 11th Light Trench Mortar Battery was formed in England July 1916 and assigned to 11th Infantry Brigade, of which the 43rd Infantry Battalion was a part, so it is possible Mummery had a stint in the mortar battery but the 43rd was still regarded as his unit.
