could anyone please identify these badges

The last badge comes from the Hyderabad Army (Indian State Forces), recognised by the Nizam's "Dastar", used in place of the Crown. It seems too large for a head-dress badge, so it is probably a trade badge for a Signaller, following the British Army tradition.

The 3rd badge, Royal Arms in a wreath is the badge of rank worn by Royal Army Ordnance Corps WO1 Conductors and with a field gun below it was worn by WO1 Master Gunners Class 1 of the Royal Regiment of Artillery.

Badge number 1 is very similar to that of the Canadian Regiment, "The Prince of Wales' Rangers (Peterborough Regiment) the only thing different is the lack of the Prince of Wales' Rangers scroll. Also I have not seen this badge with a slider. Not an ID I know but it may help in identifying this bagde.

This is correct. Also dont know if cap or trade badge. Think it was shown in a very old Brit Mil Hist Society booklet. Have been after one my self for years.

MHS Bulletins Nos 31-36 cover the Hyderadad Army. No 33 (p9) illustrates the Hyderabad Army Signals, which looks like telegraph equipment. Nowhere are there flags, unfortunately.
