Royal Engineers but Prince of Wales badge on pith?
two photo pc's to the same soldier, probably egypt 1918, his buttons under closeup appear to be Royal Engineers but he has a Prince of Wales three feathers badge on the front of his sun helmet.

This has been asked quite recently on here and I believe the answer related to the Indian Sappers and Miners connection.
Try searching under that it should pop up. regards

in the thread I linked to there is some debate as to which bn wore the P of W badge.
I have bullion collars I bought a while back, they were said to have been removed from a backing board/card and were for King George's own 1st Sappers & Miners, though the other thread states the 3rd Bn wore the P of W as their insignia.
